To their credit, the gpu drivers have continued getting much much better, much faster.
Intel has long understood the value of drivers, has been one of the primary contributors & drivers of really good open source (albeit with some frustrating areas of sore neglect, like GMA500/Poulso) (But also rip the incredible http://01.org http://01.org those folks were amazing at finding high value open source work to do!). Im glad to see making an already quite reasonable priced value GPU a lot better.
But yeah the timing is after the GPU craze. And Intel has been tweaking the same way-too-big big core for too too long & is uncompetitive. And they've been hurting to get a 7nm process (Intel 4) going. A lot of change is necessary.
- seunosewa 4y agoAI has kickstarted a new GPU craze. Hope they catch this one.
- philistine 4y agoOne could conceivably assume that they're talking to Sony and Microsoft about putting their GPUs in their next consoles. I'm not sure Microsoft would bite for compatibility reasons but Sony seems ready to make another blunder.
- windowsrookie 4y agoIt's possible, but AMD has supplied console APUs for two generations now because they are willing to sell them for cheap. Intel has never been interested in low-margin items, but they may need to be in the future. AMD has really targeted the gaming APU market. They make the chips for the Playstation, Xbox, and Steam deck. They also recently announced a new chip for gaming handhelds that Asus is using in their new ROG Ally device.
