But they need graphics. They should make M Pro/Max-ish integrated GPUs like AMD is already planning on doing, with wide busses, instead of topping out at bottom-end configs.
They could turn around and sell them as GPU-accelerated servers too, like the market is begging for right now.
Intel’s CEO says ‘large’ integrated GPUs are the way forward.
You didn’t even have to click on the article it was in the preview text. And that’s exactly what Intel has been doing with their 100 and 200 series CPUs (that’s what they’re called right?). The 140v that’s in the lunar lake while not cleanly beating AMD’s 890 is putting up a pretty good fight. And that’s in the super hamstrung for power Lunar Lake CPUs, with Arcs horribly unoptimized silicon and drivers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg74aUQGdSg
If Intel can figure out how to slim down the silicon for battlemage to make it more efficient (space and power wise) then they could have some actual competition for AMD.
Strix Halo (256 bit LPDDR5X, 40 AMD CUs) is where I’d start calling integrated graphics “large.” Intel is going to remain a laughing stock in the gaming world without bigger designs than their little 128-bit IGPs.
If they wanna abandon discrete GPUs… OK.

I wouldn’t call that “large.”
