Intel pushing into the gpu space is so obviously them trying to get the public to R&D AI hardware since Nvidia is so far ahead of everyone in that game.
It would be great if they accidentally did some good, but it's not something they are going to keep getting better at.
A Linux optimized GPU would be an interesting product, even if its still just R&D for an entirely different goal
I'm skeptical about how much another competitor would help...if intel can offer a comparable product, they'll get right in on the price gouging too. Why wouldn't they?
So they're either in the "no one wants to buy" situation, with a product that doesn't quite measure up and a lower price is the incentive to buy, or they reach parity with AMD, and bring the price up to match as well.
Maybe there is a window in between where they're sacrificing some profit to grow their market share, and regular customers benefit, but I have 0 faith in this economic system.
The consumer space has always been to pay for the commercial R&D
You arent wrong.
And for what its worth, i also like boobies
