flos give an approximation, but they are far from 1:1 company to company. for all we know intel has better flop performance than nvidia does, or intel shits the best on the first gen and gets fuck all till drivers catch up.

That's not how GPU works

AMD has 4096 cores in Pooga but slower than Nvidia

Intel at least has the money to hire a competent horde of programmers for their driver team.

Software support has always been AMD's Achilles's heel even when their hardware was good. You'd think the opposite would be true given how developers have to optimize their games for AMD hardware by default since all consoles except the Switch run on AMD APUs.

intel... they have fuck all for money and are in 80 billion in debt, with 3gn ryzen... I dont think intel has the wiggle room it use to, before they could just lean on xeon sales, but now they cant rely on them to make up margins.

Im up for it as long as it has god opengl, wayland support,etc

It's going to be, what 2021? before they're finally able to escape 14nm++++++++++ purgatory on the CPU side so why not try to open up another market segment to diversify in the meantime?

They've already performed the sunk costs of major hires like Raja Koduri & Tom Peterson now they just need a office full of comparatively-cheaper warm bodies to do game and driver optimization. They already are showing promising signs on the driver front with announced integer scaling support months ago which Nvidia only just finally announced support of a few days back. I think Intel understand the sink-or-swim situation they wil be in at launch unlike the seemingly pet project/skunk-works project that Larrabee ended up being.

larrabee was apparently really god vs other gpus at the time, but intel saw a higher margin use for it and axed it at final hour.

what intel sees here is a potentially self sustaining market with an inroad to gpu compute to compete with nvidia and amd, once intel is off 14nm, they will be on par process wise with everyone else, no more magic 'we are ahead in the process node, bullshit.

Nvidia sits on their ass for so long that yea, I understand intel could catch up, intel could be a force to go between amd and nvidia, but this will trigger a price war that nvidia and intel cant play ball with.

on a side note with integer scaling, what does that mean real world? would it be a gpu effect that has to be enabled in games, or is it something I can force? I don't like fullscreening games but I have a few that max out at 720p and 1080p windowed, would be nice to play them at larger resolutions windowed.

If Intel doesn't get their drivers in shape then they'll never be king.

What could have been...

That's true, which is why I'm hoping Intel will put more effort into IPC improvements going forward rather than relying a historical node advantage as a crutch. It's the inverse situation of Nvidia's Turing architecture battling and mostly beating AMD's RDNA-based products despite being on an inferior process.

>Nvidia sits on their ass for so long that yea, I understand intel could catch up, intel could be a force to go between amd and nvidia, but this will trigger a price war that nvidia and intel cant play ball with.
Let's not kid ourselves, the GPU market has been in desperate need of an old fashioned price war ever since Maxwell launched.

It's forcible even when there is no in-game support, which is why it made the news.
