I simply meant it was ambitious compared to prior Intel iGPUs, especially stuff like Skylake GT2 where you could be playing at 720P low and still not get 30 FPS.

The chiplet strategy is kind of ambitious too because there's power overhead and they're targeting battery powered devices with Meteor Lake.

Eh, writing is hard. I never liked English class anyway

Re the power overhead. They probably get some power back by using smaller nodes on some chiplets than they'd otherwise be able to afford if doing the whole design with the same process. And they are betting on the benefits of backside-power delivery.

Don't let the haters get you down, I love your articles.

Oh I don't mind the discussion here at all, I'm just occasionally puzzled at things I thought I was pretty direct about.

Honestly though I don't like writing. Finding stuff out about hardware is fun. Weaving it into a coherent article is a chore.

I think most people don't appreciate how hard it is for hardware companies with established products to make non-trivial architectural changes. It's risky and it usually snowballs and becomes more risky. Especially when others in the market are already doing similar things, it downplays the change.

I love researching things too but I can't write coherently. I really enjoyed your article, thank you.
