Intel's Xe discrete GPU project head Raja Koduri recently visited a Samsung Electronics silicon fabrication facility in Korea at the backdrop of the company's major 5 nm EUV announcement. This sparks speculation that Koduri could be exploring Samsung's portfolio of sub-10 nm contract-manufacturing offerings to mass-produce Xe discrete GPUs. Intel's own foundry business is reeling with mounting pressure from the company's main breadwinner, the client and enterprise processor businesses, to get its 10 nm node on the road. Koduri's GPU would need to leverage higher transistor densities than what Intel's 10 nm could offer, given that rival AMD is already implementing 7 nm, and NVIDIA is expected to go sub-10 nm with its future generation of GPUs.

    Oh boy things are getting a bit juicy.    I would assume it would come with top notch Samsung VRAM.

    Well if we are going for speculation I hear the BitBoys Glaze3D is going to be the best graphics card ever!

    Intel has troubles to this day with 10nm so it is better to offload graphics chip manufacturing to another company. Only TSMC and Samsung can handle what Intel wants.

    Intel is making more money with servers and they are abandoning the desktop increasingly to AMD

    well intel sure can't use it own fabs - 10nm is a disaster 35% yield rate
     
    they won't have 5nm up in any time - and any fab space they have will be use for battling out the cpu war
     
    so yeah using tsmc or samsung is in the works
