They lost it in CPUs, but I think they're actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))
They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren't even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD
I've personally seen on at least 5 different Intel models on store shelves. The A380, A580 and the A750. Now the B580 and B570. The A380 stuck around but the others sold out fast from what I saw.
And though they aren't nearly as large as the two giants, they seem to be aiming for and pleasing the under-served sub-$250 market. Though I wish they'd publish more official numbers. A 6 day slice from a retailer isn't a great view on trends.
Shit nobody cares about because we have iGPUs for that purpose.
iGPUs suck ass, better than they've been in the past, but for gaming they're still just what you use while you wait to get a dGPU
iGPUs do not "suck ass." They're built for purpose and fulfill that purpose quite well.
If you're gaming, you're better off buying a used dGPU made by AMD or Nvidia than a new GPU made by intel. I legitimately pity the fool who is buying an intel dGPU for gaming over used or new options from the other two.
But hey, I guess people like you need to feel different somehow so that's what the market is there for.
With handheld PCs' resurgence, iGPUs are getting recognition. With my handheld PC, I can easily play most PC games, barring the latest AAA games, on it. It has basically transformed the way I play video games, and it is powered by a 12 CU RDNA 3 iGPU. I was blown away when it could play 2010s games at ultra settings, 1080p, 60 fps with just a 10-watt configured TDP.
Especially the latest Ryzen HX395. It's an APU with a 40 CU RDNA iGPU. I think the current development is going on that direction.
For handhelds, a 720p resolution is very adequate, but not for a 27" Monitor
