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.
Sure, but they’ve always done well at that. What they don’t do is anything else.
Arc GPUs are pretty good in windows. But almost unusable in Linux. And laptop IGPUs are all based on ARC now so they really need that work.
Unusable in what way? I've been rocking a B580 for a whole year now and the drivers have been more reliable for me than the GTX 1070 I used before it, for what thats worth.
Interesting that ARC are unusable on linux. I assumed they'd be amazing
