Intel Acquires Another Top AMD Graphics Exec

It's not just pricing. Its also a lack of product refreshes and new models as well.

in fact, I would say pricing is a product of their lack of fab space and refusal to outsource the production.
 
so they poached losers from a losing side of the GPU war? I think Intel is getting raw end of the deal

The reality was more like very smart people hamstrung by budget, as AMD fought a two front war GPUs and CPUs. So the graphics division showed up to the fight with knives while Nvidia rolled up with tanks.

Now let's see what happens when the same people are given an Intel sized budget. Things are going to be very different I reckon. There is no doubt each one of these acquisitions is very calculated on Intel's part - they have very specific rationale for each one.

Yeeees ... And no... Budgets aren't magic though... Often the opposite is true. Intels 10nm is something that 'unlimited budgets' should be able more likely fix, and yet...
Desing innovation doesn't scale with with budgets... If anything manufacure and manufacture increments like going to 10nm would be something more likely to scale with budgets yet here we are with Intels 10nm disaster.
Desing innovation, of course you need certain budget, but tossing more money won't make too much of a difference most likely after a certain point..
