Looking Ahead at Intel's Xe3 GPU Architecture

I’m really hopeful for the future of Intel’s GPU pipeline. B580 proved there is an audience for their parts.<p>If a C770 or C970 card can prove to be a contender like B580 is at the respective price point then people will buy them.

I hope this means they&#x27;re going to continue to invest in the GPU line. Competition is good.

Looking ahead is challenging. Intel launched the B580 on December 13th, and it sold out within hours. We&#x27;re still waiting on a restock.

Where do they get all this information about things like registers? I thought GPU ISAs were treated like trade secrets?

It seems these chips have all sort of hardcoded and heuristic knowledge literally baked into them. Disappointing.<p>Why can&#x27;t AI come up with some kind of fast universal computation machine that doesnt have the need for the siliconized version of ifdefs?
