They need to enter the compute market. From what I can tell Intel is the only company serious about OpenCL and even they decided to abandon SVM (shared virtual memory) from OpenCL 2.x and instead introduced their own unified shared memory extension (USM). USM is basically how SVM should have worked in the first place and can be easily implemented on any platform, even non Intel GPUs. Meanwhile SVM is almost impossible to get right and only AMD and Intel ever implemented it and Intel iGPUs already share system RAM with the GPU so there was actually nothing to implement.
