Intel confirmed its product roadmap includes a next-generation data center GPU architecture labeled "Xe Next." This architecture follows the recently introduced "Crescent Island." The move targets the high-margin AI accelerator market. Intel competes in this sector with Nvidia and AMD.
The announcement dispels rumors that graphics IP development would halt after the Xe3P generation. The future GPU IP remains in development without a formal name. This confirmation provides strategic clarity for Intel's long-term data center plans.
Intel expects future processors to arrive in late 2026. These processors will incorporate a mix of new and upcoming graphics technologies.
