Intel plans to support FreeSync

[WYP]

It looks like Intel Plans on supporting VESA's adaptive Sync standard. FreeSync on Intel?

Any chance of intel making it into the discrete graphics market?

That would be the only reason for this to make sense. Who seriously games enough to warrant a freesync monitor to then run it on integrated graphics?

If all monitors become freesync by adhering to the standards as they should, Intel will support it by default (Nvidia, I'm looking at you). However, Intel supporting it is a bit pointless.

I think for mobile this would give a massive advantage for the many people who plays on laptops. Would also drive scalar tech forward quicker for displays.

Would be also cool if they can implement it before 10nm chips,so kabylake. Using the best iGPU they have and supporting Freesync, would give a massive reason for people to buy the new chips instead of a straight refresh, would help mobile more but still benefits desktop as well or HTPC

Makes sence it is a VESA STANDARD the only reason nivida will not,whont support it is because thay whant to sell you a g-sync module.

Not pointless.. in mobile products it would be huge. Intel's iGPU in broadwell CPUs are better than some discrete cards. If they keep this up then Freesync makes sense.

Yeah, I'll give you that. I'd forgotten about laptops as I've never seen the attraction of gaming on one.

Same here but it's probably a bigger market than Desktop PCs tbh. Laptops outsell Desktops so it would make sense for them to get Freesync and the amazing IGPUs. Hopefully AMD can implement them too in their APUs and make it competitive again in the laptop market and really drive Freesync towards everything.
