Collaboration of Two Computer Giants to Create Graphics Card

Two giants in the computer processor manufacturing world, Intel and AMD, who have a fierce competition in processor development, are collaborating to create a graphics card to compete with the major company Nvidia. This collaboration between Intel and AMD is unusual in the tech world, akin to the partnership between Mercedes-Benz and BMW to design a new engine to defeat a Japanese automaker like Toyota. In recent years, computer processors had not seen significant development until 2017 when Intel unveiled its new Core i9 processors and AMD introduced its new Ryzen series. Now, these two old rivals have announced that in the coming months, a new model of Intel's Kaby Lake series processors equipped with AMD's Radeon graphics and HBM2 memory will be released to the market. But why are these two companies finally collaborating? The answer lies in Nvidia's new generation of graphics processors, which are built on the Pascal architecture that has virtually no competition in the world. Nvidia's new processor, named GTX 1080, is so powerful for portable devices that it can compete with many desktop models. But why have graphics processors recently become so important in the computer world? Autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence are among the most critical areas where graphics cards play a fundamental role. Nvidia has recently introduced its new chips designed for autonomous vehicles, capable of performing 320 trillion calculations per second. The company is collaborating with two German firms, ZF and DHL, to produce autonomous trucks for postal uses by 2019. According to Forbes, Nvidia, known globally for its graphics processors, has been named the smartest company in the world due to its cutting-edge technologies and complex, multi-layered business models. In contrast, Intel has also made significant investments in autonomous vehicles. Besides autonomous vehicles, in recent years, we have seen graphics cards entering new markets such as artificial intelligence and data centers, areas previously thought to remain within the realm of traditional processors. The complexity of graphics card manufacturing has reached a level where now two of the world's leading processor manufacturers are forced to collaborate. These two companies use different architectures for processor manufacturing, but the most efficient architecture is currently held by Nvidia and is called Pascal.
