Intel confirms it will enter the graphics card market in 2020
Table of contents:
It is something that has been speculated in recent months and has finally been confirmed by Intel itself, via CEO Brian Krzanich. The estimated date for the arrival of the first dedicated GPUs from Intel is 2020, which corroborates the leaks of the last time.
Intel, AMD and NVIDIA will compete in the GPU market from 2020
This is the first official confirmation of Intel's ambitious plan to enter the graphics card market, and not only in the embedded GPU sector. In this way, from 2020, we will have three manufacturers making graphics cards, Intel, NVIDIA and AMD.
At the same time, this eliminates some rumors that had arisen about a possible Intel graphics card in 2019. Typically, it takes around 3 years for a company to bring a GPU from labs to stores, so planning to arrive by 2020 will be a ambitious goal for the Raja Koduri team.
We know that Intel works on two GPUs, Arctic Sound and Jupiter Sound. Arctic Sound will be the first iteration of the discrete GPU and will constitute the company's 12th generation of graphics. According to Eassa, they will be manufactured using the EMIB (Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge) to connect to the processor, which makes them very similar to the Intel 8809G that they designed together with AMD.

Arctic Sound, it seems, will also have a 'gaming' variant. The tentative schedule given for this product is for 2020, with an MCM chip with multiple matrices connected via EMIB. Intel is entering the graphics card market to face the AMD-NVIDIA duo, and surely it will not be easy to find a foothold against two companies that are already very well established.
Jupite Sound, meanwhile, will be Arctic's successor, but it is unknown when it will arrive.
More competition in the market may mean more options for PC users, so we can only take it as very good news.
