I'm stoked for Zen. I think all the media surrounding it is just overshadowing Intel news and announcements.

I just think they don't care what Intel have to say.

That was something different that actually was a big announcement.
But it's been the only real news for months worth sharing for intel because they have nothing new...

Well that was my point, if ryzen wasnt a thing and we were just getting vishera 3.0 you think intel would be throwing that much into r&d, they have been quite happy to move from tick tock to tick tick, tickity tick up to this point and inflating there prices.

They still would have thrown the money yes.
They have more competitors than just AMD

IBM and arm yes, nvidia in certain markets and whatever the name of that new chinease state owned company is, but the market they are throwing the r&d at is the one there in against amd.

And yes at some point they would have thrown the money at it, but for all the intel fanboys they waited until now todo it. And there is a difference between competition and indifferance and lazyness.

Who the heck cares for Vulcan support on an igpu, Intel may be panicking but this probably has nothing to do with it.

Every foundry in the world is there competitor.
You're not really following here.

What are you talking about, intel run there own fabs, they run there own test sites, there R&D is what they set it tobe, they chose what to r&d and when todo it.

Ryzen gave them the kick up the rear to actually do it, are you suggesting that competion from other fabs, test sites and companys held intel back from doing r&d to push there own technology forwards and forced them to sit on tech for longer and out of there own ethos of tick tock.

 

[Kleptobot]

this could be to do with Intel supporting GPU pass through for their iGPUs when running VM's.

They already have an experimental linux kernal that allows this. I would imagine that having native vulkan support might make this easier
