Intel GPU chiplets!

Longish seeking alpha article on the INTEL GPU initiative:

I think the chiplet approach will be fine for data center compute acceleration, but I am doubtful about the add-in gaming graphics market.

Intel is planning a staggered launch. The company will start with an entry-level GPU for mobile (called DG1 that will start shipping this summer), and work its way up to the data center with Ponte Vecchio in 7nm.
...
In short, Ponte Vecchio completely does away with all common notions of traditional GPU architecture and design, much like AMD did with Naples and Rome in CPUs.
