AMD is on notice

I'm wrapping up my posts for the day, but before I go, I wanted to discuss one last thing. And that is that the Intel x86 RTX SOCs for the PC gaming market can't be understated.

As we've said before, Intel's integrated graphics have improved, especially with the latest Core Ultra chips. That said, Nvidia has led the charge on GPU performance. Because of that, Nvidia's partnership with Intel is very intriguing. In short, this chip will combine an Intel CPU and an Nvidia RTX chiplet for gaming performance.

Combining these two into one SOC could make this a major rival to AMD's APUs that also pack compute and graphics.
