Intel is not GPU company, but mostly because its desktop CPU integrated GPU unit, half sell half send under Intel owns the largest share of the GPU, and most of the time is more than 70%, is "a monopoly". Released in 2013 as the Haswell architecture, Intel also bring nuclear show new name -- Iris (sharp torch), is one of the most high-end Iris Pro, showing a so-called performance comparable to one thousand yuan. Intel the strongest nuclear show performance is really good, but the cost is high, have not been able to spread, Intel is likely to cut nuclear Iris Pro show in the next generation.

Intel's nuclear appeared in two brands have HD Grpahics and Iris (the Iris Pro independence even three), Iris Pro show, known as the strongest nuclear usually belongs to GT3e or GT4e series, not only has the most GPU computing unit, but also with expensive 128 MB eDRAM cache.

Iris Pro nuclear is said to be customized according to the requirements of apple, is mainly used in mobile products, while a source in the exam, but apple with high with Iris is indeed in the Macbook Pro show most nuclear, other companies are less used. Iris Pro nuclear show only once in a desktop processor is 14 nm Broadwell processor, the Core i7-5775 - c is equipped with Iris GT3e level Pro 6200 nuclear show that the measured display GPU performance easily kill AMD A10-7870 k.

But Iris Pro nuclear show good times may be an end, a few days ago there are rumours that Intel may cut Iris Pro line, and to "prove" the news is a news, spread out before the following before Intel processor roadmap for future:

We know that Intel will launch 2018 Coffee Lake processor, process technology and 14 nm, but it will upgrade to 6 nuclear, this is the first time on mobile processors. Cut Iris Pro evidence of nuclear is the picture show only to GT3e level, without GT4e nuclear show of Skylake processor, that is to say, nuclear show there won't be the strongest.

The move is considered to be Intel cut Iris Pro nuclear signal, although the individual feels that Intel cut product line is a bit far-fetched, but to be honest, Iris Pro nuclear status can be a bit awkward - cost is too high, limiting the scope of its use, and the applicable scope is smaller, the more unfavorable to spread, is unfavorable to reduce the cost.

Even the top Iris Pro show no nuclear, Iris and HD Graphics show in nuclear, Intel will not give up its nuclear show.
