Everything have changed with this news.
Intel is now paying AMD per GPU they use in their product. Meaning AMD get to sell a lot more graphic chips.
Intel can demand higher turnaround of new graphic architectures and refresh from AMD to get to keep Intel as a customer. This should very likely mean AMD finally beginning to get more agressive on GPUs to take on Nvidia again.
Other thoughts I have is that AMD is playing this smart. They know all-in-one solutions are selling more than dedicated hardware today, so its either join the movement or slowly see their dedicated graphic card business getting eaten bit by bit by the IGPs and solutions alike. This deal with Intel ensure that they can keep churning out dedicated GPUs for years to come.
Nvidia on the other hand will have to keep their fast momentum they had with Pascal. Make a lot of new graphic cards to make up for the loss of customers to IGPs and stuff like that.
I think this news is mostly good.
But it all depends on the price of the notebooks and how well it is adopted
