Are future Intel CPUs going to use Radeon graphics?

[WYP]

Today rumours have come to light which claims that Intel has come to an agreement with AMD to use Radeon iGPUs to power future Intel CPUs.

amd and intel already cross-licensing x86 with amd64 extensions, so its not that far-fetched

Intel doesn't want this to be public? LOL.
Try lying to your shareholders Intel. They will figure it out.

Though let's be honest here. This isn't a surprise. Intel have been paying Nvidia $1.5B since 2011 because of Nvidia unsurprisingly suing Intel for using there technology(lol not close) and won. So for Intel to not have to pay them again, they will license AMD for cheaper once the Nvidia-Intel deal ends in March 2017. Don't expect Intel to use it. They didn't use any ink on designs for Nvidia technology into there CPUs. If they do, it'd probably be for a SoC design like a console. Which would hurt AMD a lot.

This is a cool idea. While it's highly implausible, it's funny when you think about the confidence Intel must have to get into bed with their competitors.

Hilariously as we go into the future this may be Intel's only option. Zen is supposed to be Broadwell fast + a mystery GPU on it too that could be pretty good. I am pretty sure it will spank Iris any way.

I think in a good few years from now there won't even be any GPUs. Or ram, or plain old CPUs.

AMD are pushing one concoction now with HBM on a GPU. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they made an APU with HBM on it.

They don't compete on GPU levels. So it's completely understandable. And Intel doesn't have much of an option, they could fight in court again, but it's probably cheaper for them in the long run to just license AMD IP. They already share a X86(or whatever it is can't remember) license so it's not far fetched to team up with them.

Wait a minute has hell frozen over, Strange bed fellows.

I have a friend in the industry that I was discussing this with last night. Nothing has been announced, but they think this may be more about licensing than inserting tech. This is all personal speculation, but we will have to wait and see.

Hmm I wonder who that was

AMD and Intel have had an agreement for ages. Im pretty sure there was even some news on here over a year ago about it when rumours of AMD being bought out hit the news. Turns out if AMD sold up there was some sort of intellectual property that Intel could stake their claim to due to the agreement in place

Implausible or not, Kyle Bennett doesn't mess around. If he says this is a thing it's a thing. I've followed Hardocp for around 2 decades, during that time I've never seen him not tell it like it is, despite potential consequences from various entities.
