>Intel has been working on graphics for over twenty-five years
Yeah but integrated graphics and dedicated desktop/server class GPUs for graphics, multimedia and general compute are two completely different beasts in terms of HW and SW.
Qualcomm, ARM, Imagination also have been making GPU IPs since forever, but I doubt any of them can jump in the ring with Nvidia and AMD. Do you think they wouldn't like a piece of that lucrative market share? But they know that dislodging the Nvidia-AMD duopoly so late in the game is an exercise in futility.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoThey're not "completely different beasts", and one area Intel fell flat on their faces with was drivers. A company that has been making GPU drivers for so long shouldn't be releasing the utter dumpster fire that was their discreet GPU drivers. Reviewers found features were missing, didn't work, or were horribly unreliable.
- userbinator 4y agoTheir integrated GPU drivers weren't any better throughout; I've had to RE some in the past and I could imagine what their source looked like to generate some of the monstrosities I saw. They seriously should've just released the specifications for their GPUs and let the community write the drivers.
