| HoloDust said: that's why I've been hoping for quite some time Intel will jump into dGPU game, since they certainly have both money and brains. |
They have actually entered the discreet GPU game before, with the i740 (Had one back in the day) and it never could keep up with the competition.
Part of the reason is that AMD and nVidia have spent decades improving and refining their drivers and GPU architectures on a regular cadence, it's going to be difficult for anyone to bust through that... It's part of the reason why Matrox with it's Parhelia, S3 with it's Chrome and STMicroelectrics with Kyro really never could keep up over the longer term.
With that in mind... If anyone can do it, Intel has the resources I suppose, they just need to invest and be ambitious about it.

At the moment the issue isn't much of an issue because every GPU being built is being sold thanks to miners, it's what happens after that bubble busts that is important... So AMD does have some time on it's side.
| Chazore said: The thing is, visuals tend to lend themselves to physics as well. |
Indeed. We were actually seeing a push with Physics at the end of the last console generation with games like Mirrors Edge, it's sad that has essentially stalled out.
When you see a game with a dizzying array of small particles, objects breaking up... It really does bring a game world to life.
