    Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.

    No wonder Intel is in such rough shape! Gelsinger is an idiot.

    Does he think that the demand for AI-accelerating hardware is just going to go away? That the requirement of fast, dedicated memory attached to a parallel processing/matrix multiplying unit (aka a discreet GPU) is just going to disappear in the next five years‽

    The board needs to fire his ass ASAP and replace him with someone who has a grip on reality. Or at least someone who has a some imagination of how the future could be.

      Reminds me of decades ago when intel didn’t bother getting into graphics because they said pretty soon CPUs would be powerful enough for high-performance graphics rendering lmao

      The short-sightedness of Intel absolutely staggers me.

        And then they continued making 4 core desktop CPU’s, even after phones were at deca-core. 🤣🤣🤣

        It’s been the same “vision” since the late 90s - the CPU is the computer and everything else is peripherals.

      Maybe the idea is to put it on the CPU/NPU instead? Hence them going so hard on AI processors in the CPU, even though basically nothing uses it.

        But if he wants npu then why not buff igpu too? I mean, igpu exclusive on CPU memory is good boost, look up intel i7 8709g they put AMD Radeon vega igpu and exclusive to igpu 4gb of hbm memory, it did wonders, now when AMD is winning in apu sector, they could utilise same ideas they did in the past
