Summary
Intelhas announced that it’s filed a patent to develop disaggregated GPU architectures with dedicated logic chiplets, which opens a world of possibilities by straying from monolithic configurations and allowing for independent computing processes. WhileIntelhas given few details about plans of implementation for this technology or when it’ll be developed, many tech fans are already considering all angles.
For years now, Intel has been locked in fierce competition with AMD and Nvidia as it fights to keep its prices low while delivering the most efficient performance possible. The road hasn’t been easy, as recentlyIntel has been struggling with its Raptor Lake CPUsand the frustrating crashes affecting the product and its owners.
Earlier this week, Intel revealed that it had filed a patent to develop an innovative method of building disaggregated GPU architectures that use dedicated chiplets, which, among other things, allow for more efficient and almost completely modular GPU configurations. While modern GPUs work as a single unit sharing the load, dedicated chiplets can take on different processes independently, allowing for greater computing power and scalability. That said, it’s not all good news, as,according to Wccftech, developing such technologies often requires new and complex manufacturing processes and other technical innovations that the company is still reportedly working on. October has been full of exciting news for hardware fans, asIntel also revealed its Arrow Lake CPUsand gave full details about the processor line.
Intel Files Patent to Develop Disaggregated GPU Architectures
Although Nvidia and AMD are still ahead in terms of GPU Market Share, many tech fans and gamers are reportedly excited aboutthe upcoming Intel Arc Battlemage GPU architecture, which is set to be released in early 2025. The filing of the disaggregated GPU architecture patent may help turn the tide in Intel’s favor and further reinforce this excitement, even though the Battlemage GPUs will still likely be monolithic.
Intel is regarded by many as reliable when it comes to developing quality products and offering great customer support. However, even then, stability issues with the company’s hardware can arise. Recently,Intel extended the warranty of its crashing 13th and 14th-generation CPUsin an effort to convey its commitment and willingness to fix the problem. Once the issue was resolved, Intel reported that the problem was caused by an algorithm malfunction that prompted the CPUs to request the wrong amount of voltage while operating.
Intel’s announcement of the filing of its disaggregated GPU patent has many tech fans excited about the implications of this news, and how this advanced technology will help revolutionize computing. Naturally, as it happens almost every time innovation takes place, there are many details to iron out before disaggregated GPUs can be made, let alone sold to the public. Development efforts of this magnitude typically represent a significant investment and might implicate considerable price hikes, just as it happened with theprice increase between Intel’s 14900KS and its 13900KS CPUs. AMD is reportedly also looking into developing disaggregated GPU architectures and has filed a similar patent, which might indicate the industry’s direction in the GPU market.
Intel Core i9 14900KF 24-Core, 32-Thread CPU
The Intel Core i9 14900KF 24-Core, 32-Thread CPU is Intel’s highest-end 14th generation CPU sans an iGPU and offers the highest boost clocks for a consumer-grade CPU from Intel to date, clocking in at an impressive 6 GHz natively.It trades at a small discount over the 14900K while skipping an iGPU under the hood, requiring a discrete solution for system builders and end users to provide a functional PC experience.
