We all know that Intel is currently working on its first discrete graphics card that is planned to be released by the end of 2020. And yesterday, the blue team announced Odyssey; a series of events built around a passionate community, focused on improving graphics and visual computing for everyone, from gamers to content creators.
There will be multiple Odyssey events on different locations and those interested can already sign up in order to participate. Participants will hear the latest reports first and they will have access to some amazing offers and exclusive giveaways. Moreover, they will have the opportunity to receive the Intel Gaming Access newsletter which gives gamers a VIP pass to killer deals and freebies, preferred beta access, the latest gaming news, and more.
Intel will be sharing news and information about its graphics and visual computing efforts from now through 2020 and beyond. The team claims that it will be listening to feedback, and hopefully finding technical enthusiasts who might want to help it with beta testing and things like that.
Intel has also released a video dedicated to its Odyssey events that you can find below. Those interested can sign up in order to participate in an event near their city by visiting its official page.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
This is more than a journey. It is an Odyssey to improve visual computing experiences. But we can’t do it alone. We invite our community to join us. https://t.co/aj1vaq79vr #JoinTheOdyssey pic.twitter.com/s0uQcChWJ6

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

As much as I don’t like Intel, they’re the only hope for competition in the GPU market. I want to avoid buying Nvidia at all costs and I simply don’t think AMD can deliver a good high end product (though the RX 480/580 getting massively outsold by the GTX 1060 is down to consumers being dumb).
That’s pretty much the way I see it as well except that I’m reserving judgement on AMD until 7nm Navi releases possibly in July this year. It may not amount to much on the high end though. I’ve been wanting to go 4K for a while now and my 980 Ti isn’t going to cut it.
It doesn’t make sense to buy a 1080 Ti now when the 2080 is the same price and newer tech.
Hope this will be : I.A.G.A.
a bad thing if you buy high end gear because your things become obsolete real quick.
yeah but i feel insecure when new gpus are vastly superior in terms of performance compared to mine. i only play on 960p with black borders so it shouldn’t matter that much to me but it does.

Odyssey to get in My PC if the performance is there and the price is right. Right now the GTX 1080 Ti has fortified itself in My PC and I cannot get it to leave.
Same with my 1080. I’d like a bit more performance, especially for really demanding titles like Metro Exodus, but nothing makes sense to upgrade to for the asking price.
same with 1080ti except i want to upgrade to an rtx card. intel cards could suck more than AMD cards for all we know. let others beta test them for us, if there are driver issues or any other cheeky stuff then we’d know that way.
When asked what he thought of Intel’s new push into graphics, Huang commented that Intel’s team is basically someone else’s.
“Intel’s graphics team is basically AMD, right?” Huang asked. “I’m trying to figure out AMD’s graphics team.” xD
Maybe he should try to figure out how to launch a new architecture along with it’s features « successfully ».
He’s getting cocky and i don’t like that.
Nvidia rules the market since the introduction of GTX980 and never stopped since then While R9 290 was a kickass card that left the 780ti sluggish behind it was also a small electricity /thermal monster. Long story short if it was your brand dominating for almost 3 Generations wouldn’t you get cocky?
Yea but that doesn’t mean it feels right for customers.
What doesn’t feel right is the superfluous prices, but what can you do Thats how the cookie crambles.
This is also true. Won’t argue about that.
tbh I’m not sure if he was being funny or hitting closer to the truth. We know about Koduri leaving AMD for Intel and AMD’s GPU Marketing Director Chris Hook left AMD to work for Intel last year. When those 2 senior management went to Intel it made the news but what we don’t know is how many of AMD’s GPU engineers also got lured away from AMD to work for Intel. They wouldn’t necessarily make the news.
Huang could be right about Intel’s new GPU division being made up mostly of ex-AMD employees.

Some off topic info, @John.
Some definitive list of all the 9th generation Core/Pentium/Celeron desktop processors have been listed by a retailer.
Japanese PC maker Fujitsu put out a definitive list of all 9th generation Core/Pentium/Celeron desktop processors as part of its updated desktop motherboard BIOS update document, expanding on the models Intel currently has out.
