Intel Core i7-8809G with Radeon RX Vega Graphics is Official

After decades of intense rivalry that had fanboys arguing endlessly over which one is amend, 2018 will be the year Intel and AMD finally bury the hatchet!

The long-fourth dimension rivals surprised everybody last year by announcing a necktie-upwardly that will run into the one-time release CPUs with graphics chips designed past the latter. Now, the Santa Clara-based chipmaker has officially listed on its website a Core i7-8809G processor with a Radeon RX Vega Graphics scrap.

On a page that details a number of unlocked Intel CPUs, the Core i7-8809G, with integrated Radeon RX Vega G GH Graphics, sits in stark contrast to the rest of the fries.

What's interesting, however, is that Intel also lists its own HD Graphics 630 alongside the AMD chip under the 'Graphics' cavalcade. What it means in all probability is that while the Intel chip will continue to remain the integrated graphics (IGP), the AMD silicon will exist the package graphics (pGPU).

As for the other details, the Cadre i7-8809G is a quad-cadre, hyperthreaded processor with a base clock of three.one GHz and an 8 MB L3 cache. The flake supports 2 channels of DDR4-2400 RAM and, has a 100W 'Target' TDP. Further details are not bachelor at this point in time, including any reliable info well-nigh whether this is a Kaby Lake or a Coffee Lake chip.

Although the 8000-serial nomenclature hints at Coffee Lake, all new-gen chips announced thus far have six cores each and support up to DDR4-2666. In example of the 8890G, the lack of the two extra cores and support for just up to DDR4-2400 could indicate an older Kaby Lake chip with an 8000-series proper noun to avoid market confusion.

There are a couple more G-series mobile processors (i7-8705G and i7-8706G) that are also rumored to ship with AMD GPUs, although, there's no official confirmation from Intel about either at this stage.
