IGPs will die-out by 2013, say researchers

Intel claims that its motherboard chipsets with integrated graphics currently command 50 percent of the PC graphics market, but researchers at Jon Peddie Research (JPR) reckon that the days of the integrated graphics processor could be seriously numbered, and predicts that their market share will dwindle to practically nothing by 2013.

Doesn't even matter. The world will end in 2012 anyways.

I read the title and I was going to come in here and write the same thing. Time is running out.

At least according to a high and mighty society and their calendar.

BTW, that society no longer exists.

obviously they weren't THAT smart...

It could really go either way. Integrated graphics are used on many (almost all) budget laptops, most levels of notebooks and even some low-budget PCs.

Problem is, techies will always want to upgrade a modular PC. If I had to buy a new motherboard every time I wanted better graphics, you can see why I wouldn't even bother with PC gaming after a while. On the other hand, people who don't game seriously just don't want to care about a 90$ graphics card. Integrated is the best way to go if you aren't looking for gaming or advanced OS features (which a lot of basic consumers don't care for).

Agreed, people who don't care for gaming will want the most budget-conscious graphics setup and IGPs just happen to be right up that alley. The article makes a point about the declining price on GFX Cards, however I feel the article contradicted itself when it brought up S3 and VIA. Intel and Nvidia would rather commit Seppuku than let IGPs die out without a fight.

Review - A Difficult Game About Climbing (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."

Review - New Star GP (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
