Intel is currently working on an Arctic Sound GPU under the supervision of ex-AMD Raja Koduri, with the intention of fully entering the field of discrete graphics cards.

Intel's Arctic Sound GPU is being developed by ex-AMD Raja Koduri

At first we believed that Arctic Sound would focus primarily on data centers and professional equipment, but in the last few hours more information has emerged that tells a different story. It looks like Arctic Sound is going to have a gaming variant after all and will land in 2020.

Raja Koduri is working on the Intel Arctic Sound GPU for gaming, and it would be an MCM product

The industry has been full of speculation since Intel first announced its plans to enter the discrete GPU market. Back then it was said that efforts would focus solely on peripheral applications (such as video streaming) and perhaps some data center products. TheMotleyFool's Ashraf Eassa, however, has a scoop to say: there will be a gaming variant as well. In fact, it seems that the idea of ​​entering the discrete graphics card market is Raja Kadouri's main objective from the beginning.

The code names for Intel's upcoming discrete GPUs are Arctic Sound and Jupiter Sound. Arctic Sound will be the first iteration of the Intel GPU and will be the 12th generation of Intel graphics. According to Eassa, they will be manufactured using the EMIB (Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge) to connect to the processor, something similar to what we see today with the Vega MH and the Intel 8809G.

Finally, the successor of this GPU will be Jupiter Sound, which will constitute the 13th generation of Intel graphics, beyond 2020.
