Source is "Moore's law is dead" youtuber. A coin toss is more reliable than him.

Really? Ive been following him for years and he has always been 100% accurate. What has he been wrong about?
dralley•2m ago
I agree that he's not that bad, but he's definitely not 100% accurate particularly with respect to Intel.

Notably this is about the 3rd time he's reported that the Intel dGPU efforts are dead.

It is very hard to put any belief in the rumor mill surrounding Intel's discrete desktop GPUs. Already this year, there have been at least three "leaks" saying "It's canceled!", and every time, a counter-rumor comes about saying "It isn't canceled!"

In all accounts I have seen, their single SKU from this second generation consumer lineup has been well-received. Yet the article says "what can only be categorized as a shaky and often rudderless business", without any justification.

Yes, it is worth pondering what the Nvidia investment means for Intel Arc Graphics, but "rudderless"? Really?

Suddenly, what Intel's CEO means by new products must deliver 50% gross profit [1], and it being too late to catch up with AI [2] is starting to be clearer.

CEO of a silicon company saying his business is "too late for AI" is a CEO either without a vision or guts, an accountant, the safe option. If it's anywhere close to true, Intel is looking to sell itself for parts.

Agreed, either their business situation is far more critical than we know, this is a gross indictment of their R&D, or this is malpractice on the part of the leadership

I think we overestimate desktop GPU relevance. Are gaming GPUs really that lucrative?
hhh•22m ago
No. It used to be more even between datacenter and gaming for NVIDIA, but that's not been the case for a few years. Gaming has brought in less money than networking (mellanox) since '24 Q4.

But the same thing that makes GPUs powerful at rendering is what AI needs - modern gaming GPUs are basically supercomputers that provide Hw and Sw to do programmable embarrassingly parallel work. That is modern game rendering but also AI and crypto (and various science engineering) which is the second revolution that Intel completely missed (the first one being mobile).

Depends if one cares about a PlayStation/XBox like experience, or Switch like.
gpderetta•19m ago
they kept nvidia in business for a long time until their datacenter breakthrough.
jeffbee•5m ago
There has never been any information conveyed by the "Moore's Law Is Dead" account. If you want to know whether Intel has cancelled their next dGPU, you might as well ask a coin.
