It's quite funny that both companies that have CPU and GPU lines are partnering to have one's CPU and other's GPU instead of Intel partner with NVidia for this. |
a qoute from a anandtech user said it well:
"IMHO, this is a great move from AMD + RTG.
Intel sees Nvidia as the real threat because the deep learning and data centres are where the money is.
Nvidia has a huge revenue and can leverage more financial power comapred to AMD and as such is am ore threatening adversary. Besides the friction between Intel and Nvidia, I think Intel of the last decade has a soft spot for AMD.
Funny thing is that because Intel has higher prices because of the margins, that indirectly thay also kept AMD afloat. If Intel would have sold their cpu's for the same prices as AMD,
everybody who has a smaller budget would also have gone for Intel depriving AMD from selling any cpu.
Intel has a better relationship with AMD, and this is actually a win win situation for AMD / RTG.
because they will sell more gpus. Have Intel + AMD brand recognition. This is very good for AMD / RTG in the long run because it means financial income in the long run.
The laptop market is very big, so this makes sense.
For AMD this is another custom design but if it is any gcn or ncu alike, it also could mean more HSA adoption and more use of GCN gpu derivate as a general compute source.
Nvidia has been very smart with promoting cuda as they have done. Now it is a household name in the pc programming world for various disciplines.
And AMD could use the same effect very much."

Let's hope we can see good results from this
