Information has emerged about an Intel processor that features an AMD Vega GPU. Intel posted this information online on a website about overclocking. It concerns the Intel Core i7 8809G with hyperthreading and four cores. This is likely a Kaby Lake CPU.
In addition to the Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics, the Core i7 8809G also features integrated Intel graphics in the form of HD Graphics 630. Other processors from the 8000 series exclusively feature Intel UHD Graphics 630. These are the Core i7 8700K, the Core i5 8600K, and the Core i3 8350K.
The Core i7 8809G achieves a clock speed of 3.1 GHz. For the previously mentioned models from the 8000 series, these are 3.7 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and 4 GHz respectively. The processor features 8MB L3 cache and eight threads. The site mentions a
Announcement
The website lacks information such as the number of compute units present. There is an option to click on the processor, but this leads to an unreachable page. Nevertheless, it appears we can expect more details about the processor soon. By posting this information online now, there is suspicion that it’s one of Intel’s announcements for CES. This trade show starts next week.
It has been known for some time that Intel and AMD are collaborating to create chips. In November, the companies announced they would join forces. This should result in an Intel Core microprocessor that enables powerful graphics tasks to run smoothly on thin laptops. This appears to be a concrete attack on Nvidia.
