Intel and Nvidia announce stunning plans to combine their CPU and GPU products for both consumer PCs and AI servers, with Nvidia taking a $5 billion stake in Intel
We'll there goes the last little hope of GPU competition to bring some semblance of sanity.

RIP Arc
You can blame me. Just like washing a car, I just bought a B580.
It definitely didn't help that I bought a Pro B50 which shipped yesterday. My bad, everyone.
And the mergers to monopoly continues.
Can't wait for my grandkids to be living in a fascist cyberpunk dystopia
And it will be allowed for sure because ya know ... Trump ...
Until the last few years of Intel falling on its face and Nvidia mopping up cash with crypto I would have never expected that Intel would turn into an underdog. This also sucks because now Intel won't be competing in the GPU space, bringing it back to just AMD and Nvidia.
Good luck competing with AMD in this space. You can't just turn up the wattage in laptops
Intel: hold my beer.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE JET ENGINE FAN!
HOLD ON, MY DELL LATITUDE IS ABOUT TO HIT V
1ON ITS TAKEOFF ROLL, IT’S A BIT NOISYAs a dell latitude owner, I relate
Intel is already competing in that space.
Most of the time a machine is at idle, not at full load and Intel clocks AMD in idle power, which doesn't matter at all on Desktop but is a more important metric for mobile than loaded power consumption.
I remember when AMD bought out ATI
Guess we're back to AMD only for Linux then.
Fucking great. $800 Arc B580's with proprietary drivers that are shit for Linux.
IOMMU support: Broken
SR-IOV: Just gone.
Thanks nVidia.
Mmm, equity steak... I'll take mine medium rare.
¿en esta economía?
There goes any chance Intel had at competing in data-center AI processors.
Well, fuck.
Is it for integrated graphics?
