GPU. GPU is Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). It is a specialized electronic circuit. It was designed to enhance computer graphics and image processing. Its intended design was focused for diversity of applications including a video card, mobile phones, PCs, workstations, and game consoles). Other applications may include its utilization for non-graphic calculations specially for parallel problems and in field of neural networks training and cryptocurrency mining.
By introducing, The GPU Flex series, Intel has addressed one of the biggest issue of the entire virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) market. Intel is allowing customers to tap into this GPU available without incurring any license fees.

Businesses have now progressive approach towards VDI systems so as to equip and enable its staff with a cost-effective access to critical apps and services. Accordingly, one may find adequately of great remote desktop and virtualization software solutions to suit their requirements.
The dire need to support their remote workers, modern resource-intensive workloads are turning to GPU-powered virtual desktop systems. But, the problem lies with license the best GPUs ‘’costs’’. There the Intel’s Flex GPU family supports.
Stripping GPU-powered VDI of license fees
There are no hidden virtualization licensing fees for GPUs tailored for VMware ESXi environments. Two configurations of Intel’s license fee-free Flex GPUs are available: –
- GPU Flex 140
- GPU Flex 170
