NVIDIA and AMD may not be the only graphics giants that are cooking up multi-chip-module (MCM) GPU designs for its next-generation graphics cards. As hinted by a new patent application from the company spotted by Twitter user Underfox, Intel also appears to be toying around with the idea of making multiple GPU modules work within a single package as part of a new architecture that could enable greater performance, reduced manufacturing costs, and other benefits. The title of the patent application is “Position-Based Rendering Apparatus and Method for Multi-Die/GPU Graphics Processing.”
