      They lost it in CPUs, but I think they’re actually nailing it in GPUs though (for once(at least for the budget/entry level))

        budget/entry level

        Shit nobody cares about because we have iGPUs for that purpose.

        They have what, 2 models? And in the GPU market, they aren’t even a pimple on the fly on the ass of nVidia or AMD

          I’ve personally seen on at least 5 different Intel models on store shelves. The A380, A580 and the A750. Now the B580 and B570. The A380 stuck around but the others sold out fast from what I saw.

          And though they aren’t nearly as large as the two giants, they seem to be aiming for and pleasing the under-served sub-$250 market. Though I wish they’d publish more official numbers. A 6 day slice from a retailer isn’t a great view on trends.

            aiming for and pleasing the under-served sub-$250 market.

            It’s already served by iGPUs and used dGPUs.

            I shudder to think of the poor soul that is so clueless and not-actually-frugal that they look at their needs and say an intel dGPU is the best choice.

        Eh unless they have the most efficient overall, they won’t make inroads into the server market. The entry level laptop and desktop markets are getting smaller and has less margins.

            Do you mean the efficiency question? I’m just deducing if they were competitive in servers Intel would jump at that opportunity.

            As for the PC market, just looking at unit sales: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_computer_vendors

            And as for margins, well the exact information is a bit hard to find but in general lower end products have tighter margins and the buyers for them are more price sensitive.

              Oh sorry, yeah that was directed towards the comment that the desktop market is getting smaller. I’ve heard that “the desktop computer is dead” for over two decades now, so that wiki page is quite interesting.

              I’d love to see the 2024 number once it gets published, because the 2020/1 numbers are such an anomalies from COVID that it’s hard to tell if the market’s actually shrinking or just stabilizing.

                It likely will stabilize, but it might become more of an enthusiast market. People don’t necessarily need a PC anymore.
