Intel reorganiza su división de chips gráficos, Raja Koduri aparentemente degradado

Big things are afoot at Intel’s graphics chip division once again, as the company has just broken up its Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG) business unit which will result in some big changes. Para principiantes, Raja Koduri has been—what we can only refer to as—demoted, given he’s back to being chief architect rather than being in charge of the AXG business unit. Some of his staff will be moved to other business units inside Intel s the AXG business unit will cease to exist. This doesn’t mean Intel will stop making discrete consumer GPUs, at least with the Battlemage and the Arc B-series launches still being planned to take place sometime in 2023.

At the same time, it looks like Raja Koduri will be out of action for what is likely to be at least a month since he posted on Twitter that he’s had emergency back surgery while on a business trip. How this will affect his transition back to his role as chief architect is anyone’s guess at this point in time. Sin embargo, he will not be focusing solely on GPUs in the future, but the broader range of products that Intel offers—particularly the integration of GPU, CPU and AI architectures at Intel. We’ve posted an official statement from Intel after the break, which Intel provided to Tom’s Hardware. We also wish Raja a speedy recovery!

Discrete graphics and accelerated computing are critical growth engines for Intel. With our flagship products now in production, we are evolving our structure to accelerate and scale their impact and drive go-to-market strategies with a unified voice to customers. This includes our consumer graphics teams joining our client computing group, and our accelerated computing teams joining our datacenter and AI group.

Además, Raja Koduri will return to the Intel Chief Architect role to focus on our growing efforts across CPU, GPU and AI, and accelerating high priority technical programs.
