First Intel Processor with AMD Radeon Graphics Within 2017

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I'm struggling with the business sense of this. If Ryzen is a competent chip it will erode Intel's market share, slowly admittedly. Why invest in your only competitor who may have something good going on?

Unless it's a simple case of Intel throwing money at AMD so it can concentrate more on CPU design and stop wasting R&D on iGPU.

Hmm.... Need more info before chin rubbing starts.

Intel has not got the IP or patents to do anything other than this or something like it.

It's confusing from both sides though ,by all accounts it's gpu will trounce what Amds Apu has , even their new raven ridge Apu.

Why help your competition equal your advantage.

Odd but perhaps theirs more to it.

AMD and Intel are both throwing RTG a bone to stick it to NVIDIA. Intel can now sell "gaming" APUs, AMD increases their GPU market share and makes some money off the transaction. It's a win-win situation...so long as there's enough supply of chips.

Lets not forget that Samsung sells panels to Apple for it's iPhone, while they are at courts suing each other for any reason imaginable.
It's just business. AMD and Intel are on the same x86 boat, surrounded by ARM sharks with Nvidia becoming a really big white shark, like the one at the movie Jaws. And that x86 boat doesn't look big enough anymore, to offer them protection.
