  Yeah, very glad that Intel has started in the market.

  It’s very refreshing to see a company release a reasonable, though that term has been skewed so much over the years, budget cpu that doesn’t completely suck and actually tries to run current green games.

    very glad that Intel has stayed in the market

    for now, anyway. nobody knows if the discrete gpu division will survive the leadership shakeup and new ceo (when they find one)

      It would be incredibly stupid for Intel to abandon the dGPU market after spending all this money on it. As long as Battlemage turns out alright (basically it’s only goal) I doubt it will go away.

      They cut the die size nearly in half so they’re no longer blowing a fuck ton of money on a $200 GPU. As long as utilization of the silicon goes up it should be fine.

        Apparently Intel is replacing Gelsinger because his plan to turn the company’s fortunes around are taking too long. My guess is the new CEO will likely sell off major parts of the company and I doubt the dGPU division will be kept

  This is a strange comment when the article is about the launch on December 12th. Maybe the joke went over my head?

    Read the text from the post, not the article. OP said it is releasing in 2044 instead of 2024.

      The article says 2044 between the headline and the first picture.

      I don’t see any text for this post, it’s just a link on my end.

  I haven’t been a huge fan of Intel for their cpus for some time now, but I agree, there needs to be more gpu competition out there. I’ve been wanting to try out an Arc for a while, I’m just hoping the dgpu drivers are better than what they run for their integrated chips.
