Intel Kaby Lake + AMD Radeon product *spin-off*

But AMD does have their own Vega, Ryzen APUs, don't they?

 

First mobile HBM 2 solution...

 

„… a custom-to-Intel third-party discrete graphics chip from AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group“

 

Where would this chip be fabbed? Somewhat ironic if @ Intel's (and would hope for more to come then)

 

There's a lot of responses on various threads. We need a dedicated thread for this.

 

Goddamit Intel just make EMIB royalty-free.
Your failure of a fabs is shit.

 

"Apple" was my first thought as well, for the first few million units anyway.

 

Yeah, it's EMIB. Just like the leaks.

 

What kind of comment is that?

 

This is like...cats sleeping with dogs territory. Creepy stuff. Quickly guys, look around you for four horsemen approaching!

 

And Samsung is fabbing Apple SoCs.
Nothing special.

 

Hoping for any company to just give away major tech/IP like EMIB is probably a bit too much; however I don't think Intel has said anything at all about licensing this stuff, when they could be making loads of dosh if they did. Smart devices today are super highly integrated, oftentimes these days they're bare silicon dies soldered straight onto PCBs because the density is too high for BGA packaging. Then there's the crazy stacked PCB used in iPhone X; EMIB could probably improve integration further still, not to mention reduce power usage.

Except, who knows if Intel feels like sharing? At least they're actually using this tech (in more than one product now even), unlike BBUL from years ago which never amounted to anything from what I recall.

 

EMIB is their only notable achievement in ages, doubly so considering their 10nm is sorta trash and is very late to the market.
I think they'll hold it thinking it will amount to something.
