It's bussiness AMD is cheaper than nvidia in this case soo..

it's also that NVidia doesn't want any work with Intel.

Nope he is failed product so not worth mention.

Intel feels otherwise, or why hire him? I'll bet Intel feels his failures are more related to AMD's lack of spend on RTG than anything. AMD simply did not have the R&D budget to make Zen and Vega great so they picked one.

Well, yeah, the only Nvidia solution with HBM2 is Tesla P100, which costs thousands of dollars. Even Apple wouldn't release a laptop where the discrete GPU increases the price by some 5000 bucks or whatever. This Intel module would look quite funny if it was loaded with GDDR5(x) chips for a more reasonable Nvidia GPU.

hopefully this will give reasonable prices to laptops with a little bit of gpu muscle.

Lol that's some seriously beefy performance if true. Ultrabook with near 1060 graphics performance? Colour me impressed.

What exactly is an embedded product? And what would need this kinda graphical oomph over an igpu or an AMD apu?

I'm sure everyone has seen the pcb pic that Intel put up showing what this replaces--it was ~3x bigger...;)

AMD could have easily released Vega with GDDR5 if they wanted. GPU architecture doesn't dictate what memory it has to use.

If they could have easily done it, they would have done it in some form, instead of releasing Vega so terribly late. No doubt the memory controlled in the GPU has a thing or two to say about it. Of course nothing prevents them from partially remaking Polaris to support HBM2, but would they do it when they already have a design using HBM2?

I guess something like this would be well received by Apple.

Lol I see my guess was on spot 🙂, because the die size looked ~50% of Vega 56, nice. now look how much it sa\ves comparing for 1060: http://cdn.overclock.net/c/ce/cec6b09f_MGT62VR33.jpeg its also the thickness that is saved for not needing to pace the GPU PCB on top of the MB PCB.

It's really only saved if they don't have to use the same amount of fans/heatsinks, of which it being in the same package means that: The heat all builds up in one area, but, the heat still builds up the same amount of heat, requiring the same cooling requirements And Both the CPU and GPU will heat eachother, not entirely certain that part is so great.

Well, that's the issue... more hardware on a smaller space with thinner (and lighter) laptops... I'm almost more curious about any cooling solutions than the hardware itself I have to admit.
