The graphics division, even if it starts making money, will not keep that company afloat. They need to start making some CPUs that people actually want to buy, or who knows what they will be called 3 years from now? IBM?

Also, Intel has absolutely nothing to compete with AMD in the graphics market. Even AMD's integrated graphics trounces Intel's.

Isn't Intel working on this right now? They may never have something to compete in the high-end, but as well all know, the "high-end" is a niche.

Someone posts an article disputing the OP, but the same couple people who bash nV in every thread continue to post like it isnt there....

They (AMD) actually do make cpu's people want to buy. The kinda people who aren't interested in shelling out $200 on a cpu. In particular, the PhenomII X3 720 and the new cheap quad-core AthlonII's.

They're working on it just like Nvidia was "working" on the FX-series while the r300 was sweeping the video card market. Until Intel has a competitive product out the gate, it's not gonna do them or the consumers any good.

This is very bad news. I loved my Nforce4, Nforce3 and Nforce2 motherboards

You have to love the ATI fan hypocrisy. When AMD goes bankrupt you guys will have to find something new to fill that void in your life.
Intel is merely shoring up their monopoly. A monopoly that will be built on top of AMD's bones.

I can pick up an E series Core 2 Duo for sub 200 that blows the doors off most anything AMD has right now. AMDs market has shrunk big time, especially among gamers.
They simply havent brought anything compelling to the table in nearly half a decade.
Intel doesnt need anything to compete with AMD on the graphics side of things. You ever look at the volume of low end garbage that ships with an Intel integrated chipset? There is a reason why Intel has nearly 70% of the overall graphics market. People dont need discrete graphics to cruise the internet and write a resume.

Yes the glory days of the r300 nearly 8 years ago. If only Nvidia could stumble more than once a decade for ATI. Maybe ATI could do better than losing 2:1 against Nvidia on Steam.
