So Raja is intel mole after all?

I saw that and, although it hurts a bit to read, it does make sense to a degree. That would also put more trust in the ongoing rumour he wanted to get RTG off AMD and into (by the looks of it) Intel's hands.
Cheers!
Plus, with his expertise, he can make the Intel/AMD chips integrate much better. However, from that article, it almost sounds like Intel is looking to integrate Radeon chips into the CPU. Maybe Intel is giving up on it's IGP and going with a Vega based IGP Also leads to speculation that Intel could be looking to buy RTG from AMD, which would pretty much be a death knell for AMD.
It will depend on how AMD is selling the GPU component. That is to say, if they sold the "IP blocks" to build the GPU, Intel might be able to create an APU right away, but from what I understood, this is similar to an OEM type of deal, with very little "custom" in it. Like the flamboyant video Intel created shows, their first approach is to put the GPU+HBM next to the CPU to bypass all MoBo circuitry first, but the next step might be beefing up their own iGPU by learning from how AMD integrates their GPU into HBM and creating their own APU.
AMD opening the flood gates is a double edged sword. I just hope they have their eyes very open here.
Cheers!
