Done deal

We can confirm rumours that Intel has given up on Nvidia written a cheque to licence AMD's graphics.

It looks like the veteran GPU editor Kyle Bennet was right when he first reported the rumour, however wild it sounded. We did have think about it and wrote about it several times. Intel needs a GPU license and the Nvidia – Intel licensing agreement has ended on March 17 2017, so Intel doesn’t have a license. It is more likely that Intel has a license from AMD but neither company has officially announced it.

Apple is licensing the GPU from Imagination technologies at least for the next eighteen to twenty-four months until it gets its own. Samsung, MediaTek use ARM or Imagination graphics IP but without of these two have a good desktop / notebook graphics. Qualcomm acquired a huge set of IP from ATI when it was known as Imagion, and was the foundation for the Adreno today.
