0Intel discloses how its AMD semi-custom graphics chip can save space in laptops.
Intel disclosed more details of how it will combine its new 8th-generation Core H mobile processors with a semi-custom Radeon Graphics chip from rival Advanced Micro Devices in a way that enables computer makers to create smaller and faster laptops.
Dell and HP are the first computer makers to use the new solution, which combines a number of innovations to create smaller, more power-efficient, and more powerful laptops. Both computer makers are showing off new laptops at CES 2018, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.
John Webb, the director of client graphics marketing at Intel, said in a press briefing that the new Core H processors work with High Bandwidth Memory 2 (HBM2), a more power-efficient stacked memory technology that AMD pioneered and has since been turned into an industry standard. Webb said the company is targeting the latest chips and the overall solution at gamers, content creators, and virtual reality fans.
