Oh neat, I didn’t know they did that. Do their GPUs have a specific niche, or are they aimed generally at competing with Nvidia and AMD Radeon?
edit: just to be clear what I mean, as an example, Qualcomm makes processors, but they fill the specific niche of mobile device processors, they don’t compete with Intel & AMD’s desktop lines.
…their first-generation cards were poorly received, but intel kept at it and recently achieved parity with low-end offerings from ATI and nvidia as a respectable selection for a budget machine…
There have been rumours like that for as long as the GPU business has existed.
Is the GPU business a separate business, even? Or just the integrated graphics on their CPUs?
They’re starting to sell their second generation of discrete GPUs right now. They’ve had integrated GPUs for a long time.

…if they stay committed to the effort, i think intel might stand toe-to-toe on midrange cards within a generation or two…
But thanks for the info! Cool to know.
