I am sceptical about the consequences for user-controlled computing. AMDs GPUs have made a positive development in the past, while Intel is unfriendly to users control over the hardware they buy.

Intel GPU drivers are open on Linux. How is that worse than what AMD are doing?

  Intel does more than integrated GPUs.

    AMD too, but were are talking about GPUs in this case.
    - madez 9y ago
      Yes, and because of the above mentioned, I am sceptical about the consequences. I don't consider it likely that the new GPU will work without proprietary firmware nor that the documentation will be better than AMDs now.

        AMD GPUs also need firmware unfortunately.
