00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.759
when Intel announced that they will be developing discrete graphics cards roughly two years ago i and well

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:12.240
everyone else took it with a massive grain of salt i mean sure maybe improved

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.320
integrated graphics or the enterprise getting something ludicrously expensive

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:22.240
to accelerate ai that sounds pretty credible but a real GPU that i can hold

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:27.680
in my hands well as it turns out it's

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:31.519
in my hand right now and i fully believe that some really great things are going

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.000
to come out of this but i'm still skeptical that Intel will ever turn this

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.000
into a real product for gamers even if i would love to be wrong

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.480
this ces video is brought to you by pulseway if you enjoy getting work done

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.079
while not at work then you need pulseway the software that lets you remotely

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.399
monitor manage and control all your it systems from one app try for free and

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.280
get 20 off their teams plan when you sign up at the link below

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.799
this is not the first time that Intel has created graphics card and the story

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:13.119
of the dg1 starts many years before i was born back in

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:17.119
1963. the apollo mission was in full swing and nasa decided the best way to

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.360
visit the moon was to have one module land on the moon while another stayed in

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.439
orbit but getting those two modules to reconnect safely would need to be

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.840
mastered before the plan could go ahead since if the two modules failed to

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.360
reconnect everyone died to properly train the astronauts on how to dock nasa

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.520
created their rendezvous docking simulator and inside that was the

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.960
real-time image generator created by ge aerospace essentially the first graphics

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:44.560
card ever over the next 30 years ge aerospace

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:51.200
would improve on their simulator and at some point an engineer hopped in there and was like uh guys have you tried this

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.159
this is really friggin fun leading ge aerospace to create real 3d

00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:00.479
and partnering with sega yes that one on the model 2 and model 3 to deliver some

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:05.040
mind-blowing graphics for the time then in 1993 ge aerospace was sold to

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:09.599
lockheed martin where martin marietta also got hooked on the video games and

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.200
decided to double down on them not just increasing their partnership with sega

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:18.000
but also partnering with Intel to create the most incredible graphics card the

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.239
world had ever seen codenamed project auburn the hype for auburn was real with

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.959
everyone assuming that the incredible resources and expertise at Intel's

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.599
disposal would completely destroy 3dfx and NVIDIA

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:34.879
until auburn hit the market in february

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.959
of 1998 the Intel 740 was launched for

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:41.920
only 34.50 and even at that price it stunk the

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.560
performance was abysmal compared to the 3dfx voodoo 2 and by the end of the year

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.319
everyone had basically forgotten about it this mistake ultimately led to

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.080
lockheed martin bailing on the project and real 3d closing

00:02:52.160 --> 00:03:00.160
Intel bought the ip and tried to have another go at it with the i 742 and i

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.480
744 but they never reached acceptable levels of performance and it didn't make

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.800
it to the market some of this ip lives on in Intel's current day igps which

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.879
might explain why they sucked for so long and Intel's dreams of creating a

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.720
sweet graphics card for gamers were crushed

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.560
many years went by basher released yeah halo brought first-person shooters to

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:25.519
the masses and Linus's voice stayed exactly the same until 2008 when Intel

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.760
announced project larabee once again the Intel graphics hype was

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.120
in full force with Intel claiming that their demonstration of an overclocked

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.519
unit was the first ever public demonstration of a single chip system

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:42.560
exceeding one teraflop but the stunt did not impress NVIDIA who

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:47.440
called it a marketing puff and peter glockowski saying it was like a GPU from

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:51.200
2006. to get the full scoop on larabee check out Linus's video where it gets

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:56.640
hands-on with a real sample but how the story ends is why i'm still a bit

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.519
skeptical about Intel's current dg1

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:03.360
the tldw is that larrabee was a total success

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:08.000
just not as a gaming graphics card but instead as a general compute processor

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.560
the project lived on for 10 years as xeon phi a platform that allowed for

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:17.199
loads of CPU cores to be slot into a single super computer and can easily

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:21.440
handle massive calculations it was actually used to create the

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:22.160
world's fastest super computer in 2013

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:26.639
so this move Intel being like oh hey guys

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.600
we're going to make a great GPU psyc

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.680
is why when Intel announced that they would be getting back into dedicated

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:38.639
graphics in 2017 my first thought was well that'll be great in 2020

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.680
for ai researchers this feeling was reaffirmed when Intel

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:46.880
announced that they would be partnering with the us department of energy to deliver the world's first exascale

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.280
computer and a little while later there were rumors that the performance of the

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:55.440
consumer GPU was underperforming which brings us to yesterday when i saw

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.680
Intel's reps bring out a working sample of the Intel dg1 and i was at first

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:05.040
excited until i saw it being used Intel sample

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:08.639
was warframe which is running right behind us and

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.680
i don't need an FPS counter to tell me that it's dropping below 60fps and i

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.240
couldn't help but feel that we've seen this song and dance before loads of hype

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.080
a prototype that isn't quite there but seems promising only for the consumer

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.400
side of the project to be canned down the line the thing is though i still

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:31.680
think that this is the most important demo of ces 2020 even if we never end up

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:36.160
getting a graphics card that destroys radion or NVIDIA since i think that

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.160
would be really missing the point Intel's big advantage here is going to

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:45.120
be the integration of their cpus and what they can do for mobile devices the

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:49.840
way turbo boost can squeeze every last megahertz of stability and every degree

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:54.160
of cooling in thin light machines is incredible add that control to the GPU

00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:58.800
of a mobile device and the tightrope walk of available power and cooling

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.039
between the CPU and gpus simultaneously to give us the kind of gaming experience

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:08.800
that you currently get in big 15 inch laptops down in like a little 13-inch

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:14.880
two-pounder or turn something like the alienware project ufo into a real beast

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.560
the best part is that is the worst possible scenario we've already seen a

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:22.240
massive increase in graphics performance on ice lake and Intel claims that the

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:26.639
performance will be doubled for tiger lake as Intel ships the dg won out to

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.759
software makers this year hopefully we'll see the performance of this

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:36.160
increase a lot and maybe we'll get something to compete

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:41.440
with NVIDIA but even if we don't it's going to be an awesome couple of years

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:41.440
for gaming on thin and lights

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:48.479
see that's the thing you can't tell the difference between when i'm working and

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:50.160
when i'm just writing fan fictions and

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:55.039
reviews of movies that bothered me because of pulse way pulseway is the app

00:06:52.800 --> 00:07:01.120
that allows you to remotely monitor and manage your systems in real time so from

00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:03.199
just one app you can scan install update

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:07.360
your systems by sending commands you can deploy custom scripts and it's

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.319
compatible with mac Windows and of course Linux making your it life easier

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.840
than you could have possibly imagined so don't wait check out pulseway you can

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:19.280
try it for free at the link in the video description and also at that link you

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:23.280
can save 20 on their team's plan

00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:28.240
so thanks for watching and make sure you get subscribed to find out just how well

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:31.360
Intel does in the future because i'm pretty excited to see what comes out of

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:34.160
all of this see ya
