But to have it do like 20 things Intels never done or never done on that level in the first place all at once? Pure friggin insanity, and clearly a case of management plugging their ears when the engineers are speaking and saying "get it done", Ive never understood that mindset in engineering companies, you'd figure they would know better. They need to pair it down, say we've got a basic relatively stable graphics driver, and maybe we can also record or one other thing. You are right, they've had a serious case of feature creep and lets say optimistic deadlines. Plus, as stated everywhere, it's not like it was a big secret Intel iGPU drivers have always sucked donkey marbles, even with the basic features and they wanted to do 10x more with new hardware? I know hindsight 20/20 i great, but I was the first to say the drivers would be the last bastion for Intel with the GPUs.

I'm 1200% sure no sane engineer (even a new hire) for the Graphics division would be insane enough to look at the amount of featured promised and say "yeah, we can hit the deadlines no problem". It's the biggest and the one that has the biggest array of different products they could put the Arc GPUs into and we haven't seen teasers even from neither the Zen or ROG lines, where I'm sure Intel would love to be showcased in full.Īs a general statement, just thinking from the timing and scope of things, I'll put the blame on this whole kerfuffle on management.


Fran- said:Out of all the AIBs that could tell Intel to go pound sand is Asus, for sure. We all benefit from that, even if Intel is known for their shenanigans.
