    Intel pushing into the gpu space is so obviously them trying to get the public to R&D AI hardware since Nvidia is so far ahead of everyone in that game.

    It would be great if they accidentally did some good, but it’s not something they are going to keep getting better at.

    A Linux optimized GPU would be an interesting product, even if its still just R&D for an entirely different goal

      Ironically a field where AMD sucks at too. Though, there has been some good progress & fixes with ROCm recently. I don’t mind a win / win situation between Intel & consumers though. The gpu market is seriously fucked for quite a while now and some more competition would really help.

        I’m skeptical about how much another competitor would help…if intel can offer a comparable product, they’ll get right in on the price gouging too. Why wouldn’t they?

          Because Intel is in a position where they would need to increase their market share first and foremost. They would not have any sort of benefit from offering overpriced GPUs that no one wants to buy.
