Intel confirms Tiger Lake, the Xe GPU-powered processor, is launching in 2020
Intel has announced a refreshed roadmap to its investors, promising 10nm Ice Lake this year, Tiger Lake in 2020, and confirmed 14nm silicon is sticking around until 2021... but that is also when it will introduce its first 7nm parts. And, interestingly enough, the first 7nm product spawned of the Intel skunkworks will be a general purpose GPU based on the Xe graphics architecture.
Now, before you start panicking that Intel Xe has been delayed, the plan to get a discrete GPU out of the door in 2020 is still there as far as we know, but it is now committed to having the architecture hit 7nm the following year.
Intel also introduced Tiger Lake, hitting the streets in 2020, which will be a new CPU architecture, and the first to incorporate the Xe GPU components in the package too. Before that, however, we have Ice Lake to contend with starting in June, just after Computex. This is Intel’s first real 10nm generation, but is only likely to be seen in laptops, at least this year.
