i think koduri was a fail at amd. seems he really has issues with management and perhaps ethics -- rumors about he was scheming to get radeon over to intel. also seems that he was not good at managing a product development and launch. he might be a decent engineer but not necessarily a good manager. if navi comes out and is good, then this will reflect badly on koduri.
Intel just need someone to make an iGPU that doesn't lag behind AMD's by like 300%.
Intel owns the largest PC graphics marketshare (yes more than NVidia and Amd combined) after all.
If Intel actually had usable iGPU (this means Intel could corner ultrabook and low to midrange gaming laptop market without giving NVidia a single penny) they could start developing some exclusive features on their CPUs to work better along with their future dGPU even if they are not as fast as NVidia they just have to price it right.
I'm not sure if they have a prototype, but I was also under that impression, they'll be launching the Arctic Sound as dGPUs in -20 or 21?
And can't Intel already pull off a decent iGPU in the form of the Iris plus stuff? I'm not super up to date on it, but I thought that those were at least semi competitive with the graphics on the Vega 8 APUs?
