This feels rather overblown to me. Intel is entering a market. Agreed. This will mean that ARM has to compete with them. Agreed. This will be good for the consumer. Agreed. And Intel will completely wipe the floor with the current market monopolist. Nope, sorry, you lost me there. Sure, they _might_ be able to outflank ARM, but they haven't managed to do that so far, and ARM are the experts in this space. Intel have tried to outflank experts before, and their graphics processors don't seem to be the market leaders.

I agree with you. This article sounds like Intel PR to me.

Spot on! ARM should worry, but really Intel doesn't have a great track record here. And ARM does. Also, ARM has been scaling up pretty well, and the graphics cores on those chips are arguably better than what Intel has ever been able to turn out. Summary: We'll see, and it will be fun to watch.

anandtech provided a more level-headed analysis. Intel's new design performs well and beats ARM designs - that have already been in market for a year already. This years ARM designs based on A15 are quite likely to be as good or better. A1,5 the next generation arm, is wider (more parallel decode and execution units than Atom) and is out-of-order further increasing instructions-per-cycle (at the expense of some complexity and die size). This is like the architectural difference between 486 and pentium. At least on paper, the A15 should be notably faster than Atom if at similar clock speeds (MHz).

This is the nature of the beast in today's tech journalism. Every story is cast as some sort of Manichean struggle. It's more than a little bit silly. We can follow the competition between tech companies without imagining that one or the other is sure to go out of business soon.

Intel has the largest share in the PC graphics market, over 50% of the total.

  They have the largest share in not providing decent graphics.
