It appears that some ex-AMD chaps have managed to draw in yet another ex-AMD guy to Intel, with Darren McPhee joining the blue camp as the Product Marketing Manager in Intel's Discrete Graphics group.

And Chipzilla promises better performance

Intel has updated its graphics driver, bringing both support for new games like Strange Brigade and Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, performance improvements for some games like World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth and Jurrasic World Evolution, as well as some security fixes and improvements.

One to have for Strange Brigade and F1 2018

Intel has started to keep up with new games by releasing a new graphics driver update whenever there is a major launch, and World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is no exception.

Brings fixes and improvements for several games

While you might not get a high FPS on extreme resolutions, Intel's iGPUs still hold a high percentage on Steam hardware survey, so there are plenty of users playing games on it, therefore it is good to see that Intel has started to more actively update its graphics drivers and bring support and bug fixes, including the latest Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 10 version 24.20.100.6194.

Which might explain its GPU delays

Tech news site SemiAccurate which covers the GPU space claims that Nvidia has delayed its  new gaming GPUs because it has inventory problems now that the bitcoin bubble has burst.

SVP Raja Koduri confirms

Intel’s chief architect, senior vice president of the newly formed Core and Visual Computing Group, ex. Radeon Technology guru Raja Koduri has confirmed on Twitter that its discrete graphics will come in 2020.

As Fudzilla reported a few times, Navi 10, the small Navi, manufactured on 7nm, is set to arrive at some point in 2019. There will be a big gaming GPU called Navi 20, but this one won’t come until 2020.

Mobile guys now in charge for Frostbite

One of the key guys behind Adreno, Tim Leland, has joined EA and is working under CTO as a  general manager and VP in charge of the Frostbite engine. He will report to the EA’s CTO, Ken Moss. This hire definitely sets a wind of change within Electronic Arts.  

No kidding. What goes up, must go down

I dunno, dear readers of Fudzilla, if you've ever been on a rollercoaster?
