The fact that it doesn't have an integrated gpu is a GREAT THING. This is an enthusiast/server CPU, if you can't be bothered to buy a cheap dedicated graphics card, wait for the mobile/apu Zen.
- floatboth 10y agoThis is not server. The actual server Zen, codename Naples, is coming later.
- izacus 10y agoIt's mostly also a packaging issue - I don't need 3D capabilities, so a basic 4K supporting Intel GPU works well and doesn't require me to add a GPU to a chasis (which can then be mini-ITX). Hence my question about having GPU integrated to the motherboard like older boards had it.
- mtgx 10y agoYou'll have to wait for the APUs, then, which probably won't arrive until fall.
- rbanffy 10y agoI think it'd be great if we could rely on every part having a standard, reasonable, GPU, even if we just use it as a clever vector unit and never push a single pixel through it.
- dbancajas 10y agoNo really. You'd prefer to use that silicon area to increase your perf. If you want a CPU-GPU combo wait for the laptop/mobile part of Zen codename RavenRidge.
- rbanffy 10y agoCPUs already have vector units. Having vector units that more closely resemble a GPU as part of the base ISA would be an interesting development.
- unholythree 10y agoFor a server I want a crummy integrated GPU to use every once in awhile without wasting a PCI-E slot.
