the expensive lesson i learnt about graphics cards is it's never about the benchmarks, it's always about the drivers. your ability to play a game or do a thing is entirely dependent on drivers. so it's entirely pointless buying ati cards because most of your games won't even launch. it's incredible that that being the situation, intel, who are pretty loving far away at being known for being the driver kings, decided to give it a go. the way nvideo releases launch day patches (for their mostly very stable and good drivers) for every single game anyone has the slightest chance of caring about is the only actual thing that matters in graphics card town.
Yeah there's literally no point in buying a weird intel discrete graphics card even if it had insane performance for the money because nothing is ever going to support it well

Radeon and Intel stuff is also completely out of the question if you even occasionally want to play with gpu accelerated machine learning poo poo.

it truly has been Intel’s arc. from disruptor to juggernaut to completely irrelevant. Intel is to modern computing what doki doki panic is to Mario Odyssey
I think for intel employees it's probably more like "constant lowkey panic"
