Intel and Cray are teaming up to create an exascale super compute(r) cluster for the US Department of Energy, which should be ready by 2021. The supercomputer has Intel written all over it, fitted wit... VS will receive exascale supercomputer with Intel Xe GPUs in 2021
I am Windows developer and thus "VS" for me stands only as "Visual Studio". Which is my favorite app ever.
Good but will it find the cure for cancer? A families disrupting disease. Oh wait that is not a top priority! About not using AMD's EPYC: they can't wait for the launch in July!
Department of Energy also is involved in lots of research considering future energy solutions like cold fusion. In that sense, I hope it's used for research...
Bit behind the latest on the topic, so got "worried" for a sec there that Xe might just be a new Larrabee for HPC. But it seems Intel is planning to release consumer(client) dGPUs as well besides DC ones. Sweet.
