Intel has been forced to make desperate changes to their die for 10th gen processors to not overheat and still be somewhat competitive towards AMD. Its basically how it used to be when AMD was desperate and Intel was the CPU King, now Its the opposite lol.
Personally I don't think any amount of magic can fix Intel's broken state unless they redesign their whole architecture (Like AMD did for Ryzen), but Intel is probably too far into 10nm and 7nm research for that to happen. I also think the Intel GPU/iGPUs won't be a match compared to what AMD and Nvidia are gonna bring to the table in September. (RTX 3080 vs Big Navi?)
Intel iGPU doesn't aim to be the high-end but just a more powerful iGPU for laptop, so we will not need to switch over the dGPU so often (well if we ever buy a Intel-powered laptop anymore).
Unfortunately, we are still forced to buy Intel powered machine:
- AMD Ryzen 4000 series for laptop has been announced and released but right now no OEM is building an high end laptop powered by AMD... Why? The rumors says that Intel is paying OEM to use its CPUs for high end spec machines. AMD told us:"Ask OEM the reason why AMD CPU are not used high end machine..."
- Thunderbolt technology has been set royality free by Intel 1 year ago but no OEM is pushing out laptop or motherboard based on AMD that support this interface, maybe just one by MSI released recently. Thunderbolt is a very useful interface with a lot of feature and speeds!
- Videogames such as CS:GO seems to be more on favour of Intel with their FPS, but I think eSport will soon change into AMD powered pcs.
As comsumer we can only wait for a OEM that decides to break this silence.
