I think it's fair to assume that most HN readers have heard of Nvidia's single existing competitor in the discrete GPU market. But many may not have heard that Intel and ImgTec are entering the market in the next year or two. You're right that PowerVR drivers are likely to suck. However, you're wrong about Intel being at a process node disadvantage, because their GPUs are going to be fabricated by TSMC :-O

>because their GPUs are going to be fabricated by TSMC Only one of their specific SKUs out of dozen are fabbed by TSMC, and it was a very late addition to the lineup. As long as Intel operate their own leading edge Fab, Intel's incentive is and always will be to fully utilise their own fab capacity as much as possible in order to gain economy of scale.
