> so intel is truly looking for ways to stay relevant in an ipad world. They can stay relevant in gaming. When/if PCs fade out and we go back to a big servers/workstation/thin client world Intel will be able to live in the three of them. They are already doing well in big servers and workstations, and I think they are the only ones currently in a position to be the dominant provider of technology for the "gaming thin client", whatever it will look like... I don't know if it will be more like a console, or more of a small PC you plug into your TV. NVIDIA only has something to offer for the workstation type of PC.

why do you say that ? Intel has nothing like Tegra (Clover Trail is not shipping yet) - which is already a GPU + CPU hybrid SOC. You dont need a separate CPU. Windows 8 is already running on Tegra 3 - http://www.anandtech.com/show/5614/microsoft-shows-windows-8-cp-on-tegra-3-krait-omap-5-clover-trail http://www.anandtech.com/show/5614/microsoft-shows-windows-8... Plus, the big big reason is that there is already a ton of content out there from big publishers that is Tegra optimized. Tegra has been very successful in the thin client/ipad world and is looking to screw with Intel's server world with Project Denver. I'm not even talking about nvidia's next gen Kepler graphics card released this week with serious power optimizations - Intel is seriously far away from that world. In short, intel has 0 in graphics capabilities - while nvidia has 0.75 in cpu capabilities.
