>Theres also talk about their shift to GPU, maybe Battle Mage will deliver in this yearConsidering the stock tanking and the announced layoffs, I fear Battle Mage will be unfortunate collateral damage along the line.
Really unfortunate timing as that was the only competition we could hope for to the Nvidia and AMD GPU duopoly who jacked up their prices, and Intel was actually committed to the new GPUs constantly pushing updates and fixes.
There's no point in rooting for Intel's downfall here as some people seem to take pleasure in, as then AMD will just jack up their prices as they've done in the past, since they're a business not a charity, and only acted nice to consumers while they were the underdog but will not hesitate to milk us dry the moment they own the market like Intel and Nvidia did.
