Of all the things you picked the least relevant one. Intel without GPUs is dead. Gone. Zero. A foundry at best, with a decade to be top tier again. Intel without RISC is… fine? The instruction set doesn’t matter, the underlying hardware doesn’t execute it anyway, it runs microcode.

I agree, I think GPU is a smart move for Intel. They have a lot going for them that they should be able to carve out a nice niche in the GPU market.
