INQ: Does Intel plan to make discrete graphic products?
Intel: We continue to work relentlessly with the platform ecosystem to define, develop and deliver platform and technology enhancements that delight our customers. We regularly update the community on advancements in these areas at Intel Developer Forums. Intel hasn’t announced any products in these areas at this time.
Uhm, yeah they already kinda do, and they don't have noisy fans or massive heatsinks. They are the integrated graphics that come with some motherboards, so technically they already make "graphics chips" just not graphics cards.
I wish Intel would do something with Nvidia the same way AMD is collaborating with ATI/bought them out.

Well duh! I know that, but what I meant was something to compete against AMD/nVidia in the discrete graphics segment. Right now Intel can't offer SLI or Crossfire on their Bensley 2S workstation platform (although SLI will work with a patched driver).

Intel will produce graphics chips for graphics cards
Sigh, another example of sensationalist and irresponsible journalism.
Hey, wash your mouth out with soap. We're talking about the august and prize-winning journal The Inq! Not CBS News that can't tell whether a letter was typed on a Selectric or printed from MS Word!
Hmmm. You are full of, well, something unpleasant.
Why would the Inq reporting Intel wanting to bust into the high end graphics market rank as "funny"? Seeing as THEY ALREADY MAKE MORE GPUS THAN ATI AND NVIDIA COMBINED.
Intel has, for many years, retained by far the largest GPU market share, but only in the IGP space. The fact they now wish to toss their hat into the ring with advanced GPUs is, I would say, predictable and good for the consumer. I detest duopolies, which is what ATI and nVidia have become.
I welcome Intel to the top end market. Let's see a big fight, and thetop end cards come down to $300 where they should be.
