I wouldn’t call it worthless. Unless you’re a gamer or AI/ML-geek they are perfectly adequate for regular desktop needs like browsing the web or writing code.

I certainly don’t long for a descrete GPU.
In fact this is the only thing I miss going to Ryzen. Now I’ll have to buy a GPU.
- simlevesque 8y agoHis link describes why they are worthless.
- josteink 8y agoThe fact that they’re effectively giving them away for free still don't make them worthless though.
- slantyyz 8y ago> His link describes why they are worthless. His link only describes why they are worthless to the author of that article. It hardly means that they are worthless to the market at large.
- theandrewbailey 8y agoI welcome Intel discrete GPUs. If they are as fast as Nvidia's or AMD's, I'd consider buying one. The high end/gaming PC GPU market needs more players.
- jandrese 8y agoHalf of the effort with high end gaming GPUs is the driver support after the fact, something Intel has traditionally put only minimal effort into. Buying a high end Intel card for gaming would likely doom you to poor performance and crashes on many new games. There are many cases where the Intel hardware should be sufficient to play a game, but some driver weirdness makes it unplayable anyway.
- cl0ckt0wer 8y agoThere is a line of Ryzens with integrated GPU: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/263683-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-review-best-blend-cpu-gpu-performance-weve-ever-seen https://www.extremetech.com/computing/263683-amd-ryzen-5-240...
- josteink 8y agoSure. But those are effectively lower end models and I find it a shame AMD don’t ship GPUs on the CPUs with higher core-counts.
