presumably due to cost of memory being very high right now making it difficult to create a card oriented at consumers.
wrong thinking, imo. price below nvidia and amd, give reasonable performance per watt, continue to support open source linux drivers. they would sell at least as well as alchemist and battlemage have.
Not in terms of selling the card, but in terms of production. The market for Intel discrete gaming GPUs is very small, so the cost to produce the cards isn’t as profitable for Intel, especially under the current market. Of course, I do want Intel to make new consumer oriented cards, but the investment needed to produce gaming GPUs could be too high for Intel (note that I’m not an Intel business executive, this is just my guess!)
