    Were there rumours that they would? I didn’t hear them, but this is a weird news story to report on otherwise.

      I mean, they fired their last CEO that carefully planned and executed his plan to design and manufacture them (GPUs).

      Good Ol clickbait title.

      Not that they are much worse than the rest of the tech press but I avoid The Verge. They have a bad track record and regularly release really bad and misleading articles.

        Is the GPU business a separate business, even? Or just the integrated graphics on their CPUs?

          They’re starting to sell their second generation of discrete GPUs right now. They’ve had integrated GPUs for a long time.

            Oh neat, I didn’t know they did that. Do their GPUs have a specific niche, or are they aimed generally at competing with Nvidia and AMD Radeon?

            edit: just to be clear what I mean, as an example, Qualcomm makes processors, but they fill the specific niche of mobile device processors, they don’t compete with Intel & AMD’s desktop lines.
