That's impressive.

If you can boost performance by 750% your drivers must have been absolute crap before.

It's their first go at non-integrated GPUs. What did you expect?

S takes. Intel is a new player with a lot less experience creating drivers for dedicated gpus and gaming.

So it's not about beeing "crap".

It's about beeing impressive that they still support their new linup while increasing the competition pressure on amd and nvidia. They are getting better and better with time, amd maybe at one point, or with next gen we'll get competition forcing the 2 old ones to get better pricing.

They don't have it implemented in silicon but use a translation layer. Of course it's shit at first. And that's ok.

There's plenty of criticism for Intel as a whole, but their GPUs are an impressive first real attempt. If they continue to improve, we will have far more competition and the breaking of a duopoly. Which is a win for everyone.
