Intel's old gpu was i740. They failed with it and larrabee, though i740 at least made it to market. They also had i752/i754 with i752 being released in very limited quantity because it sucked too (i754 just got dropped-another too was codenamed capitola, never made it anywhere and died with timna too).
It's comic to me that AMD tried a new api when a force like Intel couldn't get devs to code for their new gpu (larrabee was never going to get game devs to totally drop the old way and start anew - easier to get that done in HPC market I guess instead of dozens of game devs). They also failed to get people to code for a new cpu (itanic-LOL ok, itanium, whatever). If change is so hard to get devs to code for, it boggles my mind AMD thought they'd ever get Mantle off the ground. One more thing that robbed R&D from cpu/gpu/drivers. On top of that they knew there were two competitors not far away, Vulkan and DX12. Stupid management mistakes are killing AMD (for over a decade now, 7B in losses in 15yrs), it is certainly not the engineers doing it. It is amazing those guys put out what they do in SPITE of management being morons.
Having said that, am I the only one NOT impressed by the size of this supposedly SFF box? Look at it in his hands. It is rather large together and then their external unit has to be figured in too. Doesn't it look about as wide as him and not exactly short to begin with?
I can build my own system and probably take up less space or at least save a chunk of money I'd guess. I though SFF was supposed to take up SMALL SPACE. Why would you want all that wasted space between them and an external unit too? Storing this anywhere makes it a PITA IMHO. Not quite sure why they wasted R&D on this. It wouldn't be a massive money maker no matter how you slice it. Let someone else R&D how to put 2 furys in a box with water. Get back to concentrating on CPU/GPU/DRIVERS period. No more APU (thankfully pulled up ZEN, delayed apu crap that can't make a dime, should've listened to Dirk Meyer ages ago and stayed CORE PRODUCTS), no more crap like this or consoles, just PURE CPU (with high IPC and plenty of die space to hurt Intel with) and pure GPU/drivers.
