| Found an announcement from INtel that they are getting back, I think, into
| graphics cards - - - in a big way.
|
| Did some searching - - - - all I can find is 'purdy pitchers' and swag for
| sale.

| Is this some more fud or is intel serious?
|
| Anyone out there know - - - if so I'm guessing it will be 24 months before
| anything useful shows up - - -yes?
(from my increasingly fallible memory) Intel's Xe(tm) GPU architecture is
already shipping on (some?) 11th gen processors, as iGPUs. I think that
discrete GPUs for mobile are shipping too.
The first card is supposed to show up in 2022q1. They also announced
ARC(tm) and Alchemist branding.

There is a variant for high-performance computing. Or maybe two (Xe-HP
and Xe-HPC).
My understanding is that there will be good and open support in Linux.
Intel has been good about this, but perhaps only because it has been
behind AMD and Nvidia in performance. (They probably ship more iGPUs than
all other dGPUs and iGPUs combined.)
