gollark: Oh, and the next Intel CPUs should actually be very good, as they're adding 8 smaller low-power cores which are nevertheless apparently around Skylake performance to basically everything.
gollark: They are also making datacenter cards, which were delayed because lol no working 7nm.
gollark: Soon apparently we get "Arc Alchemist", a gaming-oriented card, which is meant to be bigger and have hardware raytracing/matrix multiplication units.

gollark: They've begun releasing discrete GPUs.
