This article was based off what the CEO said at the Second Annual AI Summit, following the news of their new head of GPU hire who says he "will lead GPU engineering with a focus on AI at Intel". The AI pivot is the actual news.

    Oh so they will actually not focus on GPUs as end consumer products for you and me. They’re just like Nvidia and AMD. This news really just shows how cooked gaming is.

    It's not even a pivot. They've been focusing on AI already. I'm sure they want it to seem like a pivot (and build up hype); the times before apparently just having the hardware and software wasn't enough. nobody cared when the gaudi cards came out, nobody uses sycl or onednn, etc

    I was sure their focus was already on AI. Bought an Arc a770 when I first built my PC. It was alright, but the gaming aspect had a lot of flaws.

    Each driver update had some improvements, but the bulk of it felt like AI bullshit.
