You have to make a name for yourself, establish your presence, and then refine until you're up there with the others. You don't usually come in and WIN right away. This is how it goes when you break into a new market. I wonder if there just aren't a lot of people left paying attention to the market that were here back in the day when nvidia and ATI were struggling against 3dfx. I wouldn't think Intel would blow the whole market up the first go-round, but I think this first launch will be about establishing that they're in it, they're serious, and they'll hammer out the drivers.

And a smaller node is not going to save anyone - look at the past.

Its when he's gone that design wins happen, look at AMD right now. It shows an image.īut let's keep dreaming, maybe one day we'll wake up with the sun shining and Raja six feet below.

#Discrete graphics card driver
Intel has a great IGP driver after twenty years. Overall performance: I suppose it can run Crysis, but who knows. Price: huge dies translate to huge price points and low wiggle room for price cuts. They are because they need to be or there is nothing to write home about. The dies we've seen are effin huge, and they're not wide because they want to run lower clocks or TDPs. Die size: relates to perf per shader unit. Noise/Power/Heat: depends on perf per shader unit which so far isn't looking better than competition And if you want to start leading, you also need to pile onto that with soft- and hardware design wins. If you're not playing in the top half end, you're not playing, and you'd better play on all metrics: Heat, Power, Noise, Performance, Support. They need a product on-par with current competition or what will happen is what AMD has experienced the last ten years. 'It doesn't have to perform exactly as good as (insert any)' 'It can be priced 700 bucks just fine, look at what Nv is doing' Vya DomusMan, if these don't undercut the competition by a massive amount it's not going to be good at all.
