I think this means Intel's Arc GPUs are dead. $5 Billion seems like a small price to pay for NVIDIA to remove a potential future competitor off the market.
Yes this would be my fist reaction, when an oligopolistic market has large transactions ( that weren't mandated by a competition regulator . . . "develop new chips 'together '" . . . - [cough] - cart [cough] el
Not sure they were incapable of improving, but they were definitely behind everything else, especially on drivers.
The likely result of this is licensing NVIDA for igpu design. Seems anti competitive, but should catch up to AMD, and better for consumers as long as AMD not killed by it.
Intel's drivers were/are getting better fast. Their b580 remains a great value.
