Intel joining the high end videochip market?
Intel has confirmed that they formed the "Visual computing group" which shall be the future of computing for "high-throughput workloads". Intel is already looking to hire graphic engineers for this purpose. Together this might suggest Intel is indeed going to create chips for add on cards once again.
Even though the high end market is quite small compared to on board graphic processors it still has a value of $5 billion a quarter, which is a lot, even for a giant like Intel. Having their own high end GPU would also give them a chance to strengthen their grip on the console market.
Intel did not comment on these speculations.

When was the last time Intel got kick ass in the Vid Card market?
They better make something worth while buying, or else they should just get lost once again.
I believe that would be very fast. future Quad core = 2 cpu 2 GPU at 2+ghz? :)
now we need to get nvidia making mobos, cpus, and ram more lol.
