Intel\u2019s first dedicated graphics card for consumers will apparently end up in an Asus laptop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VivoBook Flip 14 was recently unveiled on Asus\u2019s website, and according to the features list, the laptop convertible will carry the \u201cFirst Intel Discrete Graphics\u201d unit inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you dig into the Asus website code, the PC vendor also names the GPU the \u201cIntel Iris Xe Max graphics,\u201d which caught the attention of Twitter user @momomo_us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strangely, Asus hasn\u2019t been talking up the 14-inch laptop on social media or through its public relations channels. Nor has Intel. So we\u2019re not sure why it isn\u2019t getting more fanfare. Asus simply told PCMag the company will release more details soon in “late Q4” when the product is expected to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, the laptop does fit into Intel\u2019s timeline for its dedicated graphics card. In August, the company\u2019s head of graphics, Raja Koduri, said Intel was on track to ship its first discrete GPU for laptops by the end of 2020. However, the card won\u2019t be for gaming laptops, but for notebooks designed for mobile content creators, such as graphic artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VivoBook Flip 14 fits the bill; Asus is marketing it to creative types who need a fast laptop for work projects. The Windows 10 machine will also come with Intel\u2019s 11th-generation Core “Tiger Lake” processors, up to 1TB of PCIe SSD, and a Thunderbolt 4 port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, Asus\u2019s website for the VivoBook Flip 14 doesn\u2019t list a price. But we reviewed the AMD Ryzen version of the laptop, and it\u2019s currently up for sale on Amazon starting at $707.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
