Part of Intel’s partnership with AMD
For CES 2018, Intel has unveiled its new Kaby Lake G processors, and they now come with GPUs from AMD. While they may have been rivals in the past, this partnership proves that Intel and AMD are willing to work together to create better processors for desktops and laptops.
Going into details, the new i5 and i7 chips are equipped with AMD’s Radeon RX Vega M graphics, boasting of 4GB of HMB2 VRAM for graphics-intensive tasks like gaming or video editing. In addition, these new chips have VR capabilities, with support for Oculus Rift and Microsoft Mixed Reality. Performance-wise, Intel claims that the new processors will be two to three times faster than a previous-generation i7 processor paired with a Nvidia GTX 950M GPU.
These new chips are designed to be used with top-of-the-line laptops, and are expected to be available by the second quarter of 2018.
