Jobs at Intel - Visual Computing

If you read between the lines it is clear Intel will be pushing for their own 3D higher end cards soon. Personally this is not a suprise to me. I have said for many years that Intel has one of the best R&D staffs in the business and they could decide to enter the market and be very competative right out of the gate.

This should be a good thing with a 3rd card maker hitting the market. Also consider if they bring the same fresh approach they did with the Core2 we could see nVidia and ATI playing catchup to Intel in one or generations.

Yep, that's been an ad of interest for a few months now. Intel has changed the wording for that job description about 3 times that I know of for sure.

They should do it... it wouldn't be that much more difficult for them.

Now, when Intel starts using their gaming cards for laptops, I'll start looking they're way even more.

who knows probably its part of it! its probably part of nVidia getting bought by Intel... or merger of some sort, it wont be final until the push towards the named GPU by intel...
