Intel’s Xe discrete GPU undertaking head Raja Koduri just lately visited a Samsung Electronics silicon fabrication facility in Korea on the backdrop of the corporate’s main 5 nm EUV announcement. This sparks hypothesis that Koduri could possibly be exploring Samsung’s portfolio of sub-10 nm contract-manufacturing choices to mass-produce Xe discrete GPUs. Intel’s personal foundry enterprise is reeling with mounting strain from the corporate’s important breadwinner, the consumer and enterprise processor companies, to get its 10 nm node on the highway. Koduri’s GPU would want to leverage greater transistor densities than what Intel’s 10 nm might supply, on condition that rival AMD is already implementing 7 nm, and NVIDIA is anticipated to go sub-10 nm with its future era of GPUs.
