Intel Axes Rialto Bridge GPUs, Delays Falcon Shores to 2025
tomshardware.comNot shocking, Im kind of ok with most of this.
Feeling a bit bumbed about this though:
> Additionally, Intel will cancel its upcoming Lancaster Sound GPU for its Flex Series of data center GPUs. These GPUs are designed for lower-intensity work, like media encoding. Instead of pushing forward with Lancaster Sound, Intel will focus on the next-gen Melville Sound products for the Flex series.
That was such a cool product. Heck yes give me a low-power card with a bunch of encoders (& hopefully some modestly ok-ish VDI)! Hopefully the next go is great.
It does seem perhaps a bit smart, on all these fronts, to just not release, rather than let quite mediocre products get out there & underwhelm.
Singing, "I want, I want more." to the old sea ditty, "Row, row, row your boat." as a short halflife disposable product then becoming ewaste.let quite mediocre products get out there & underwhelm.
A whole article without a single mention of of Raja. He joined Intel in Nov 2017.
and new Intel processors are still worse than 2 years old 5850U from AMD...
