He just bounces around doesnt he.
Does it mean that Intel's short dedicated Gpu journey is already over? It would be a pity, since 3 competitors are needed to keep the prices halfway moderate.
Arc. There's nothing lackluster about Arch.After the lackluster launch of Arch
Wicked witch.
Intel basically can't afford his vision, it's wasted on their side ,not him, I don't think he's in a bad shape, it's just intel being intel.I'm sure he's a smart dude, but his track record isn't the best. Cutting edge tech needs people who are not just smart but more than that.
Why did he underperform at AMD too, and when he left AMD's hardware got better?Intel basically can't afford his vision, it's wasted on their side ,not him, I don't think he's in a bad shape, it's just intel being intel.
i think the RnD budget was limited on intel side.Intel basically can't afford his vision, it's wasted on their side ,not him, I don't think he's in a bad shape, it's just intel being intel.

Please no. You don't want him at AMD.
I actually hope Intel doesn't give up on gaming dedicated GPUs and keeps trying for several more architectures. It's ironic because the company is Intel, but the duopoly is going to end up with $2000 GPUs with 12GB VRAM. The first one didn't light the world on fire but that's fine, just keep trying, make it a long term strategic goal.
Engineer ceos are actually the ones who ruins everything, no one should hire an engineer as a ceo.LMAO Raja ruins everything he touches, Lisa Su cut him loose but Intel was desperate. Turns out desperation doesn't result in good things.
Arc is supposedly pretty decent now at the lower end. AMD $200-250 offerings suck and Nvidia's don't exist. Not everyone has $400-$2000 to spend on GPU.
And Intel has been improving their driver performance.

Business guys do things the dirty way , science guys have broader vision than both , engineers are at the moment, better at handling bad situations instantly.In tech companies it's the opposite. For example, Intel for decades had engineers as CEOs.
Then they decided to hire non-engineers as CEOs. And when Brian Krzanich took over, that is when Intel's decline went into full gear, as he focused on immediate profits through stock manipulation, and reducing research investments to single-digit percentages of revenue.
The damage he did to Intel is still felt to this day, so no wonder Pat Geisinger pointed the finger at him.

AMD's R&D budget for the graphics division was ridiculously low while he was running.Why did he underperform at AMD too, and when he left AMD's hardware got better?

Doesnt explain why he sucked at apple and intelAMD's R&D budget for the graphics division was ridiculously low while he was running.
But on Intel he had a big budget and several ex-engineers from AMD and NVidia, and still he underperformed.

Up until last year there were only two companies in the whole world doing high-performance discrete GPUs. The amount of IP and expertise on hardware and software needed to get in that market is such that all the other companies that tried it were pushed away, and there were a lot of those 2 decades ago: 3dfx, Matrox, Imagination/PowerVR, VIA/S3, XGI, 3DLabs. And I'm only naming the ones that got to the point of launching products in the market, because there were a bunch who cancelled their products and closed down during development.
Pretty much all of them struggled with windows and linux drivers that supported millions of hardware combinations, as well as scaling up / widening GPU resources where interconnects and caches become more complex and important.
There's a bunch of companies making tiny embedded GPUs for mobile devices. There were only two making large discrete GPUs for PCs, and now there are three.
Intel's 1st gen Arc was never going to win big on their first try, and whomever thought otherwise had pretty unrealistic expectations.
Intel is not new to GPUs. They have been making tem since the 90s.
Even today, Intel is the company that ships the most GPUs, thanks to it's integrated parts. Intel is not new to producing GPUs and drivers.
They may not have been competing at the mid and low end, but they have the majority of the entry level
