Not that they are much worse than the rest of the tech press but I avoid The Verge. They have a bad track record and regularly release really bad and misleading articles.
Oh neat, I didn’t know they did that. Do their GPUs have a specific niche, or are they aimed generally at competing with Nvidia and AMD Radeon?
edit: just to be clear what I mean, as an example, Qualcomm makes processors, but they fill the specific niche of mobile device processors, they don’t compete with Intel & AMD’s desktop lines.
…their first-generation cards were poorly received, but intel kept at it and recently achieved parity with low-end offerings from ATI and nvidia as a respectable selection for a budget machine…

Were there rumours that they would? I didn’t hear them, but this is a weird news story to report on otherwise.
Good Ol clickbait title.

I mean, they fired their last CEO that carefully planned and executed his plan to design and manufacture them (GPUs).
There have been rumours like that for as long as the GPU business has existed.
Is the GPU business a separate business, even? Or just the integrated graphics on their CPUs?
They’re starting to sell their second generation of discrete GPUs right now. They’ve had integrated GPUs for a long time.

…if they stay committed to the effort, i think intel might stand toe-to-toe on midrange cards within a generation or two…
But thanks for the info! Cool to know.
