Yup, you read that right, an Intel Core i7-8709G with Vega M Graphics. That means up-to-now Core i7-8709G and Core i7-8809G are names that have emerged, a quad-core Intel processor with AMD Radeon IGP, based on Vega architecture with a product ID of 694C:C0. The hybrid solution is called a multi-chip module, combining an Intel processor and an AMD (Vega) graphics unit. Have a peek at the quick video as posted by Thai PC and tech vlogger "TUM APISAK":

This is WAY above raven Ridge. 10 (maybe 11) CUs @15W vs i think 32ish or something CUs(I'm too lazy to look it up). Raven Ridge is something you could consider if you are gaming casually, something like rocket League is a game i would run on raven Ridge. This intel-vega chimera is on a 470 performance level.

I'm really more excited for what this does with console gaming.
Jason Torres
Nothing?

This might finally kill tower PCs, if they manage to put it in NUCs with proper cooling.
The only thing that keeps tower PCs alive is gaymurs who need discrete GPUs. If a hybrid chip can get comparable performance with a much smaller footprint, there's no point in building towers anymore.

Except thin clients and kiosks, of course

Camden Peterson
I wonder if you can use an AMD gpu in crossfire with this.
Back in the day, you could have retarded crossfire setups.
John Sullivan
Here's your wide.
Nathaniel Long
Are you two sure an Intel Core i7-8709G with Vega M Graphics.

Luke Myers
Crossfire is mostly dead.
Colton Martinez
Nah, they just renamed it.
David Bailey
It's still mostly dead. Also who cares about CF when the RTG niggers can't even ship shader complier with PS support for Vega? AMD is STILL hiring a shader compiler dev.
Caleb Ortiz
Will AMD cover RMA costs?
Would be unfair if the MOBO manufacture had to take the loss if the APU failed.
Liam Wood
This is not an APU you moron.
Juan Carter
>I'm really more excited for what this does with console gaming. makes it more obsolete. there wont be new consoles for 7-10 years they STARTED this generation way behind on performance. as VR and such picks up, consoles will become more and more a joke
Luke Lopez
Will that replace intel gfx or is that a Intel apu?
Nathaniel Jenkins
It's a MCM consisting of CFL-H die (that includes iGPU) and a separate Vega dGPU.
Anthony Rodriguez
Will the motherboard have 8pin PCIe power connectors on it to supply enough power to that chip
Eli Gray
Hardware dev. is fuckin hard. It makes even less sense for a specialized low return market like gaming to have top quality hardware. Defense and finance are sucking up the good hardware engineers
Matthew Moore
It's basically an upgrade. intel IGPUs will stick around for low-cost solutions, but rather than having intel + low-grade nvidia dedicated, it'll be Vega.
Julian Phillips
>100C idle temperature no thank you
Alexander Russell
>This intel-vega chimera is on a 470 performance level. Unless it's got a 150W TDP (which is insane for its intended purposes), I don't think it's that high.
William Lopez
That's the argument, dumbass. If discrete GPU performance up to 1060 can be fit in a NUC enclosure, there aren't any solid reasons to build tower PCs anymore, whether they're miniITX or whatever other tower format.
Jordan Martin
32nCUs will do the job assuming the Vega part works. The high-end package is supposed to be ~100W.
Hunter Anderson
I really want this in a Thinkpad, but I have that sinking feeling it will only be in applel toys and Lenovo will keep on pairing midrange integrated GPUs with low end discrete GPUs and charging $2k for it.
Nicholas Robinson
24CUs lower than 1200Mhz, i looked it up
Colton Walker
The die looks too big to be a 24CU part though. Anyway, RTG niggers need to ship working drivers to Intel.
Robert Bell
A 1060 is basically the minimum you need for a gaming PC nowadays if you want to play any modern game at 1080p+ and high settings. Plus the whole non-upgradability thing. So most gaymers will still want discrete GPUs in towers.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
This is aimed at the Dells of the world. Now Dell don't need to add a dedicated videocard anymore.
Gabriel Nelson
They already aren't putting dGPUs in 90% of their PCs anyway.
Alexander Lewis
>make fun of AMD because they "just glue CPUs together" >partner with AMD to glue a GPU and HBM to your CPUs the absolute state of Intel lmao
Can't wait for normies breaking the HBM when they fumble the cooler installation
Nicholas Thompson
How would you break HBM? I guess shock could fuck up the stacking right?
Cooper Allen
Just mess up the mounting pressure and you'll knock off a corner. part of the reason we get heatspreaders on every CPU now is dummy proof installation. And HBM is less durable than CPU/GPU
Sebastian Wilson
Lol K lemme just Cut the chip in half when some of it fails
Good idea goy
Joseph Ramirez
but its Intel Core i7-8709G with Vega M Graphics.

Isaiah Robinson
The GPU would use on chip HBM, the CPU would still use external DDR.
I know this is a consumer tech board and most people here don't have engineering backgrounds, but things are trending towards the single chip SoC direction. Look up a little company called "Altera" now a part of Intel.
Tyler Edwards
Don't worry, they'll have an IHS with toothpaste.
Caleb Price
Never said that. Not everyone with a desktop tower PC buys highend vydia cards, brainlet.
This is meant to go in NUCs. And eventually NUCs are meant to replace most non-high-end tower PCs.
Making the low and mid-range discreet GPUs unnecessary is the first step in that direction.
What does Intel gain from this? They basically squash nVidia out of the market, except for the highend niche.
William Rivera
Holy shit!

Jacob Sullivan
no if anything this just means AMD IS BTFO & BANKRUPT. the fact they had to ally with, according to ayymd drones the equivalent of the "devil" to take on nvidia just shows their absolute desperately. intel is just going to use them long enough to "learn" everything they can about ayymd's gpu tech, and with pajeet kaja, fix their own in house gpu's to become performance champions. then kick ayymd off to curb like the absolute garbage they are. lmao amd is a fucking joke. can't wait for ayymdd to finally go bankrupt.
Isaiah Bell
Wut. AMD and Intel are in cahoots. One cannot exist without the other since Intel is the sole owner of x86 but AMD is the sole owner of x86_64 extensions which they both cross-license to each other for maximum cockbag levels and keeping the monopoly to themselves.
Nathaniel Hall
>This might finally kill tower PCs, if they manage to put it in NUCs with proper cooling. What I secretly hope is the resurgence in horizontal desktop cases. Pretty much any expasion card but GPUs is a low-profile/half-height pcie card.
If this thing was good enough for intel/amd to make profits and managed to stay below 150W alltogether there's a chance for these types of general purpose computers to make a comeback. I'm moist
Carson Bailey
intel has enough money to out-right buy amd. they have enough money to out-right buy the entire rights to x86_64 once ayymd finally, for the benefit of all mankind, goes bankrupt.
Ian Myers
>intel has enough money to out-right buy amd. they have enough money to out-right buy the entire rights to x86_64 once ayymd finally, for the benefit of all mankind, goes bankrupt. Are you actually retarded or just pretending to be? Intel cannot buy AMD because it would violate the settlement of the 1991 Northern California vs Intel lawsuit. If Intel became a monopoly the US government would force it to either split into smaller companies or license x86 to someone else.
Jason Davis
>look ma' its retarded read what i wrote. i didn't say intel was or wanted to. i said they have so much capital they can buy whatever the fuck they want. >If Intel became a monopoly the US government would force it to either split into smaller companies or license x86 to someone else. lol you are an idiot if you think the us government would. they couldn't even split up microsoft. they won't bother trying to split up intel. especially with the current administration.
Alexander Johnson
GLUED TOGETHER
Adrian Russell
>lol you are an idiot if you think the us government would. they couldn't even split up microsoft. they won't bother trying to split up intel. especially with the current administration. The EU would then. US is not the only political entity that intel relies upon for survival
