It seems that Intel is accelerating the development plans for graphics dedicated to gaming, tired of losing millions every year, due to not having competent solutions for this market.
Intel has been implementing integrated graphics cards in its processors for years, but these are really quite bad, not to say that they serve to offer a video output and little else. The company wants to get head first into the gaming graphics card market and for that it hired Raja Koduri, a few months ago. The company's idea is to launch the first dedicated graphics card for gaming in 2020 and for this they are not skimping on resources.
In addition, the codename of the new discrete GPUs called 'Arctic Sound' and 'Jupiter Sound' have been leaked. These had originally been developed for Data Centers, but these solutions seem to have another destination. According to Ashraf Eassa from The Motley Fool, Intel's Head of Graphics, Raja Koduri, would have made a change of plans.
Bonus: Apparently @Rajaontheedge is redefining Arctic Sound (first Intel dGPU), was originally targeted for video streaming apps in data center, but now being split into two: the video streaming stuff and gaming. Apparently it wants to “enter the market with a bang.”

This news is very interesting, considering that Koduri has only recently arrived at the company. The move from AMD to Intel has generated strong interest around the industry. It is not very clear what changes these will be, but the first to arrive will be those made to Arctic Sound and they promise to be quite interesting.
Intel has also recently partnered with AMD, to integrate RX Vega M graphics into Intel processors, to offer a solution suitable for gaming, since the Iris Pro are a true chestnut. The company does not want this agreement with AMD to last too long and for this they are investing a lot of time, money and resources in developing their own solutions.
Koduri is a very important asset for the company, but it has encountered several obstacles along the way and the most important is that Intel does not have facilities dedicated to the development and production of GPUs in a massive way, which increases the capital to invest to develop their own graphics and having to do it against the clock, obviously.
Intel is tired of not being in such a fundamental market, such as that of GPUs for gaming and more recently, that of cryptocurrency mining and wants to fight AMD, and above all, NVIDIA, who reigns in this market. We must warn that there is a covered gamer, which is Samsung, who has already shown interest in the market for PC gaming and dedicated graphics.

if they don't pay nvidia they will have to pay amd because the graphics patents prevent them from making a gpu with good performance
I already said it before. Either they bought a patent or Intel managed to create a graph and patent it
"I've said it before. Either they bought a patent or Intel managed to create a graphic and patent it."
In my opinion, I agree with you, if not it would not make sense to create graphics for gaming, because if they are not powerful and good it is useless, also I disagree with Steven Castillo since it does not make sense to pay to make basofia, it is obvious that They will fix them however they can to compete with AMD and NVIDIA
LOSE MILLIONS,
how to lose in a market where you are not because you do not have what it takes: v ste men xD
