To be honest no one should care for Intel GPU hardware because their drivers tend to suck badly. That alone will take a good while for them to get right if the hardware amounts to anything and or is for gamers .I find it deeply amusing that some here are predicting doom for AMD, or a dominance by Intel...based completely on rumors with little to no concrete data on ANY of Intel's, AMD's or Nvidia's future products, and no independent confirmation or the rumors.
WE SIMPLY DONT KNOW what ANY of these companies will offer over the next year. We don't even know what we will be seeing in the next 6 months! NOR do we know what performance these cards will offer compared to current offerings.
We can speculate, sure...but it's all guesswork. Save the "AMD is doomed" threads, guys, it just comes across as wishful thinking from people emotionally attached to their own purchases.
Said this before AMD had a personnel reshuffle that was quite major, gpu in development can not be effected or barely will because that is how the hardware design process is. So it will take AMD a couple of years all of their current design lack scaling (high end) without needing stupid amounts of power that means that AMD will take up to 3 years to get something out that is not already being worked on. So for AMD don't expect anything grand for gamers these coming years.
