Intel Discrete Graphics Chips Confirmed

Arun Demeure writes "There have been rumors of Intel's re-entry into discrete graphics for months. Now Beyond3D reports that Intel has copped to the project on their own site. They describe it as a 'many-core' architecture aimed at 'high-end client platforms,' but also extending to other market segments in the future, with 'plans for accelerated CPU integration.' This might also encourage others to follow Intel's strategy of open-sourcing their Linux drivers. So, better watch out NVIDIA and AMD/ATI — there's new competition on the horizon."

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

Try reinstalling the drivers.

Until this new hardware will let me display fractional polygons I'm sticking to my continuous graphics board.

Actually, there are lots of "computer engineers" here who bought FX5200 or similar cards and think its the cat's meow.
"Oooh look! 256MB RAM! That shiiiny FX5200 has to be better than my friend's 128MB 9700 Pro"

Remember when AMD made Intel clones down to the very chip architecture and it didn't matter which manifacturer you bought from?

Remember how AMD K5 sucked and people started leaning towards Intels? And then Pentium 4 happened, and AMD's new architecture was much superior? And then Core turned things on their head again?
