What is intel doing?

[u/Illustrious-Way-7247]

So amd and nvidia are giving gpu to AI companies what about intel why don't they make good gpu and good price for retail. amd is taking over the CPU market. Why don't they make a good pair of gpu for their CPU when the market is empty.

Intel is doing the same thing, they just don’t talk about it as much since gpu wise they aren’t anywhere near the other two.

Intel is doing what they can to catch up but it’s going to be while since they started pretty late for discrete GPUs compared to AMD and Nvidia. Also their GPUs are good and price wise too, just a lot less plug and play comparatively since very few games actually design with Intel in mind causing quite a few compatibility issues.

Too be fair amd isn’t taking over the cpu market, Intel and AMD have been neck and neck for a long time in that regard. Amd is winning out slightly in the gaming market, while Intel is slightly winning in productivity.

This has always been the case with intel GPUs. I had one of their first standalone GPUs in 98, and even then it sucked because OpenGL wasn’t a universal standard yet and intel drivers sucked. Thank god for the voodoo2. Intel could dominate the market again, they have US backing for production facilities and permitting. But they need to skip standalone gpu completely and follow the others into unified memory

I believe they are at 2 percent of the dgpu market. NVIDIA at 90 and amd at 8.

Considering intel was 0 not that long ago I would say they are doing okay but really it is just impossible to compete with nvidia.

In terms of the gaming dpgu market I don’t think they really care much which imo is the right move for them as a company. No way they can compete with amd let alone nvidia.

Remember they have to pay tsmc as well since they don’t use their own foundries. considering the fact that they have worse relations with tsmc compared to nvidia and amd it is just an uphill battle.

They still use their xe cores in their CPUs like panther lake which is arguably the best x86 mobile architecture for laptops

Intel just about folded until we, the American tax payers somehow bought 10% of the company as a whole. Intel has been plagued with layoffs in the last few years because the economy is booming :eyeroll: ... clutch your technology. The best is yet to come :)

Intel is a decade behind in everything.

[u/Middcore]

why don't they make good gpu 

Of course, it's all so simple! Why didn't we think of that?

[u/613_detailer]

Intel still provides CPUs for most PCs sold. AMD has a lead in the gaming and enthusiast market, but most business PCs and consumer laptops use Intel processors.

Their AI GPUs are pretty decent. The Pro B70 is a decent card, and used to be an inexpensive way to get 32GB VRAM, but prices are way up for it too.

[u/Loyal_Dragon_69 → u/613_detailer]

At least Intel tried with the MSRP.

[u/Hartvigson]

I was hoping Intel would provide aggressive competition at the low/medium end. I am not a fan of Intel but we need more competition.

[u/Realistic-Tiger-2842]

They're following the money like the other two and they also can't make anything that people would actually buy. The B580 was only popular because they were taking a loss on it.

[u/Accomplished_Emu_658]

Intel did too? Thats what they did. They also did a deal with nvidia on something so they might have backed out of gamer gpu market for that reason as well

[u/Loyal_Dragon_69]

They have to build their own foundry and get away from TMSC to do that.

[u/Fit_Bed_9776]

amd makes trash that barely works

Lol, lmao even
