I’m not disagreeing that their integrated GPUs aren’t competitive with discrete GPUs for gaming, but I do want to point out that there is a very real market for users that basically don’t play 3D games. I would bet that most business laptops never run a 3D game. They’re just doing 2D compositing, scaling video, and other really lightweight stuff.
I think that the most intensive 3D thing I’ve ever run on the laptop I’m typing this on is maybe Google Earth.
Thank god. Their drivers are great for “media acceleration” but holy shit can they suck for gaming or anything intensive.
