Intel Preps for 4K with Intel Iris Graphics 6100
The Intel Iris Graphics 6100 (GT3) is an integrated Broadwell GPU revealed in Q1 2015. The Broadwell-GT3 silicon, Iris 6100 will get 48 execution units, a 300 to 1100 MHz dynamic GPU core frequency, and an L4 eDRAM cache.
Broadwell features a GPU based on the Intel Gen8 architecture, which has been optimized in various aspects compared to the previous Gen7.5 (Haswell). Inter alia, the shader arrays called "subslice" have been reorganized and now offer 8 Execution Units (EUs) each. Three subslices form a "slice" for a total of 24 EUs. Combined with other improvements such as larger L1 caches and an optimized frontend, the integrated GPU has become faster and more efficient than its predecessor.
The Iris Graphics 6100 represents the top-end version of the Broadwell GPU family and consists of two slices with 48 EUs. Beyond that, there is also a low-end (GT1, 12 EUs), a mid-range (GT2, 24 EUs) and a high-end variant (GT3e, 48 EUs + eDRAM), as NoteBookCheck reports:
All Broadwell GPUs support OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 11.2. The video engine can now decode H.265 using both fixed function hardware as well as available GPU shaders. Up to three displays can be connected via DP 1.2/eDP 1.3 (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) or HDMI 1.4a (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 24 Hz). HDMI 2.0, however, is not supported.
Depending on the specific CPU, the maximum GPU frequency varies between 1000 and 1100 MHz. Even though the Iris Graphics 6100 is technically identical to the HD Graphics 6000, the higher TDP (28 W instead of 15 W) leads to a better utilization of the Turbo Boost and therefore a superior performance. Overall, the Iris 6100 should be slightly faster than a dedicated GeForce 820M.
Nevertheless, games as of 2014/2015 will usually run fluently only at low settings. Utilizing a new 14 nm process, the Broadwell LV chips are specified at 28 W TDP and therefore suited for medium-sized ultrabooks. The TDP is flexible and can be further reduced (23 W), which has a significant impact on performance.

I think IF Intel wanted to, Intel could give both NVidia and ATI very good competition in the high end GPU market. But right now their is no way they can compete with NVidia or ATI in the high end graphics.

Intel cuts from games so much more than nVidia and that cuts from games just a tiny bit more than AMD, to point it does not matter.

I mean obviously they could if they wanted too. They would just throw money at the problem, but why would they want to? There isn't really room for another high end graphics player and they'd need to throw a lot of money at it. I mean AMD was going to tackle graphics themselves before they realized how hard it was going to be and ended up trying to buy Nvidia, then ultimately bought ATi.
Dunno, I don't really think there is a point for them to go into high end graphics.

So could Walmart or Amazon.
Tricky part is to MAKE money, not lose.

Looks like the Info from Notebookcheck, from its format. Gonna be interesting how Broadwell is gonna turn out with the new Iris.
