Intel to produce X86 chips with NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets

Game over for AMD?

Be hard to compete with future Intel CPU's with 3D cache (coming from Nova Lake onwards) and Nvidia RTX iGPU on CPU package, coupled with Nvidia's software stack.

Wow! This is a big move. I still think AMD is going to be ahead for CPU but the competition is great

Nvidia's software stack and mindshare is just too strong for AMD to compete with this.

Intel CPU with X3D cache, gsync, DLSS in one device is just unbeatable. Laptops will be game over, likely desktops too.

Good to have you back, Dave

Never went anywhere, posting from my 9800X3D system

Why do you want it to be game over for AMD?

The last time AMD didn't do so well we basically had quad cores for a decade and Intel locking out overclocking for most chips.

Also this pretty much ends Arc too,so even less competition in the dGPU market.

I don't want it to be game over for AMD. I want AMD/Intel to be neck and neck, forcing each other to release yearly new flagships with 10%+ IPC like we used to get years ago. This would be fun and exciting.

Sadly we have to face reality in life, it doesn't matter how much you want something, what matters is what's actually happening.

Intel laptops/mini PC's with Nvidia RTX graphics, software stack, DLSS, Gsync in one ultra low power device just cannot be competed with - it's too good to give up.

Even desktop gaming CPU's with Nvidia iGPU will be very difficult to pass up on - Nvidia mind/market share is so strong that these will be the default option for the majority.

Also bear in mind Intel already have a significant advantage in mobile with ~20w lower idle power usage, which is critically important for battery life. Couple this with Nvidia GPU efficiency...
