Intel has shown a prototype of its high-performance GPU

In December last year, Raja Koduri (Raja Koduri) said that the team from the Intel Research Center in India was able to make significant progress in developing a graphics solution for Intel X^and with a large crystal Now Intel is showing a new product that structurally resembles a great LGA processor.

Intel knows a big bet on the X GPU family^and, which will offer a unified architecture in almost all market segments, from integrated graphics to mass processors and supercomputers. Raja Koduri, former head of AMD’s graphics department, is responsible for overseeing development in this area. Breaking the silence for a long time, Koduri commented on the press service released by Intel this week. Photos, which were accompanied by an annotation on the difficulties of developing semiconductor crystals with tens of billions of transistors in self-insulating conditions. In the secondary photographs, the renowned processor architectures Jim Keller and Raja Koduri himself appeared in protective masks, indirectly confirming the freshness of the photographs.

The main revelation was the image of two copies of the same processor made by LGA, which was simultaneously shown on both sides. As a “scale line” it was a standard AA battery. Koduri explicitly hinted that such a product would be good both for speeding up the work of artificial intelligence systems and in “field battles” – games, if you take these words literally.

Of course, if we are talking about the flagship graphics processor, it is unlikely to be used in serial products with such a design. Most likely, in the prototype stage, it approached LGA’s core processors for the convenience of testing and debugging.

Remember that by the end of 2021, Intel hopes to introduce the Ponte Vecchio computational accelerator, which will combine the EMIB substrate, Foveros spatial design, 7nm manufacturing technology, and current-generation HBM memory. The product currently being demonstrated may have nothing to do with anything other than architectural kinship. In one of the February photos, Koduri posed with some kind of silicon wafer in his hands. Perhaps this was a report on one of the development stages of the corresponding GPU, which is now being demonstrated to a greater degree of availability.
