New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom Discrete Graphics from AMD

Intel announced their new venture with AMD today, the new product, designed by Intel, integrates an Intel® Core processor, semi-custom Radeon graphics chip, and second generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) into a single package. Anyway, the goal of this partnership is to provide thinner, lighter laptops. Inquiring minds want to know if this is a reaction to Nvidia dominance in Laptops. I kinda think so.



We wanted to find a way to improve this. A way to deliver a stronger combination of performance-level processors and discrete graphics that open the door to even smaller form factors. And, we knew we could do it by combining our Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology with a new power-sharing framework.
