Tom Petersen is a public relationship spokesman...he's at the marketing department so who cares? Anybody can do this job...will you let us know if the guy who mops the floor move to Intel as well please?

I would like to know as well

Hey guys, I have a pretty close relationship with someone at Intel who is working on Arctic Sound integrated products.

 

Here's what I can tell you for now:

--- GPUs with up to four graphics cluster dies are in the works (likely 1-2 for consumer models and up to 4 for the enterprise models -- or more if stacked) so the "Xe⁴" is not too unrealistic of an expectation

--- Single/dual/quad cluster(s) will be interconnected by EMIB and surrounded by stacked HMB2 VRAM.

--- Potential options for enterprise customers to "unlock" the amount of clusters they need (i.e. 1 cluster for $25/mo, 2 clusters for $45/mo, 3 clusters for $65/mo, all 4 clusters for $85/mo, etc.).

 

I don't have very much in the likes of official images or pre-production performance specs or anything else specific like that, but I hope this adds brownie points for Team Blue!

 

And for those who want to experience why Linus and company appreciates Tom Petersen so much here's an interview with Hot Hardware and others:

Does anyone know a better place to post Intel dGPU rumors?

 

 

Cheers,

What a hilariously ignorant statement. He is pretty insanely good at what he does.
