They don't even have their first gen available world-wide and some moron with personal agenda recommends them selling the whole division? Awesome. Imho the hardware is actually better than I expected it to be for their first gen. Drivers are terrible, but nobody who is old enough to remember ATI or NV drivers back in the days of Geforce256 or Radeon 9700 is surprised by that. Gelsinger would be completely stupid to sell it at this point. If he has at least a bit of common sense left, he will keep it.

Remember the days when drivers didn't have unified driver packages?

JamesSneed:

Nobody. Anyone that follows the tech side knew they would bleed money. Worst case scenario is AMD lands RDNA3 before Intel gets ramped up and selling cards. AMD's next gen can likely compete with very small low-end parts that are much cheaper to make. Intel needs to take its losses fire whomever needs firing, streamline the team the hardware and driver teams, and build the next gen to be competitive. They cannot stand to stop making GPU's as this is also going to play out in the data center over the next few years. CPU competition from ARM and AMD are eating into Intel's market share really hard the last two years and not having a GPU solution is going to be the death nail.

Whoever made the decision to hire Raja Koduri needs to be the first one fired....immediately followed by Raja... A company can't survive launching products 1-2 years late every cycle, but that seems to be his trademark. Over-hyped and so late to market its barely relevant....with promised features missing.

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" now Intel has that knowledge and are facing that danger, you're right

Probably. The inside word is that he was out end of 2020 but he got a second chance. I have a feeling he will be out if Intel can't break even this generation. Raja does not seem like a person that unites people which you very much have to be to lead these very large projects.
