So what is up with this Intel ad I ran into here on B3D?

And to top this off... A quote from the ad link.

We are developing advanced products for high-end client platforms and our silicon designs have us aggressively positioned to advance the state of the art in graphics and other high-throughput workloads. The technologies you will help us develop in this area will ignite new levels in gaming and visual computing.

Oh snap.

Do you enjoy living under that huge, enormous rock?

From the ad
"Our vision is to extend this leadership in real-time visual computing by setting new benchmarks in life like animation, photorealism, and extreme gaming. "

you need to be better than the competition - intel never seemed to grasp this concept

maybe the ad should read
"Our vision is to extend this leadership in real-time visual computing by setting new benchmarks in being a bit crap"

High end enthusiast discrete add on boards for gamers was not exactly comfirmed and Intel never gave any answers if they planned to. This just about comfirms by thoughts though. This two way party is being crashed.

Visual computing for high-end client platforms isn't descriptive enough? What market do you think that is?

Isn't high-end for Intel anything other than IGP?

Zing!

Now if they can just beat a TI graphing calculator, they might be on to something

Oh wait, they might need some drivers to go with that "visual computing on high end client platforms", so maybe not !

Someone needs to notify them that "Visual computing" on high end platforms usually consists of resolutions higher than 640x480, and it is really nice if you can just use the drivers as opposed to 3D-Analyze hacks..
