Oh great, Now we have CPU game exclusive features

[Grim5]

As if GPUs wasn't enough to consider when buying a game, now we have it for CPUs too.

Marvel Avengers has 3 graphics effects locked away that only becomes enabled IF the game detects that you have an Intel CPU in your PC.

it doesn't even appear to be performance related, as long as it detects any Intel CPU those graphics features become enabled

I hate when companies do this. It's like VR, making certain games on work on certain VR units. Make it available to everyone then the consumer has a better choice what to go for.

Intel has now realized it can't compete on performance alone and consumers haven't been falling for their BS benchmarks and shilling websites like userbenchmark. So now they're trying to splash cash to try and make some differentiation between them and AMD.
