It's in line with what I was expected. There was no way in hell Intel could leapfrog Ngridia and AMD Radeon on its first try. People expecting otherwise were dreaming. It was just not gonna happen.

Even those two GPU giants had shipped massive flops throughout their lives (Ngridia with the FX 5000 series and AMD more often and more recently, ironically also unde Raja Kaduri) but they also had decades of experience to refine their development and testing processes and buff out any issues before release, iteration after iteration. Intel is relatively new to this, of course they were gonna fumble.

I hope they can suck up this failure and come back swinging with the next gen. Consumers and gamers could really use a third player. GPUs are now costing way more than entire gaming consoles.
