Intel has been making GPUs for over 25 years. Claiming they are just getting started is absurd.

To that point, they've been "just getting started" in practically every chip market other than x86/x64 CPUs for over 20 years now, and have failed miserably every time.

If you think Nvidia is doing this because they're afraid of losing market share, you're way off base.

There's a very big difference between the MVP graphics chips they've included in CPUs and the Arc discrete GPU.

Sure, but claiming they have literally just started is completely inaccurate.

They've been making discrete GPUs on and off since the 80s, and this is at least their 3rd major attempt at it as a company, depending on how you define "major".

They haven't even just started on this iteration, as the Arc line has been out since 2022.

The main thing I learned from this submission is how much people hate Nvidia.

		> The main thing I learned from this submission is how much people hate Nvidia. I think there's a lot of frustration with Nvidia as of late. Their monopoly was mostly won on the merits of their technology but now that they are a monopoly they have shifted focus from building the best technology to building the most lucrative technology. They've demonstrated that they no longer have interested in producing the best gaming GPUs because those might cannibalize their server technology. Instead they seem to focus on crypto and AI while shipping over priced knee capped cards at outrageous prices. People are upset because they fear this deal will somehow influence Intel's GPU ambitions. Unfortunately I'm not sure these folks want to buy Intel GPUs, they just want Nvidia to be scared into competing again so they can buy a good Nvidia card. People just need to draw a line in the sand and stop supporting Nvidia.
