arstechnica.com — In a recent update to their careers page, Intel has pulled back the curtain a little bit more on what is currently one of the worst kept secrets in the tech industry. I think the most interesting question that this posting raises is, what took Intel so long?

Intel has always dominated the Integrated video market. This may change when it comes to marketshare because AMD now owns ATI.Thats if AMD decides to make there own chipsets besides the ones that ATI owns.

Why buy another, specialist video company when you already are a video company, and you already ship the biggest number of graphics chipsets in the current market? Furthermore, Intel already bought PowerVR for their video solutions.Besides, it'd never make it past the SEC, not after AMD bought ATi. Competition is a good thing in the market place: drives down prices, drives up innovation. Let's make Intel get off their lazy asses and build chips that actually perform well.

Did the i740 really flop? It was the most powerful dinosaur simulator card on the market. You could both watch Raptors stalk you and be frustrated by your pasty floppy arm, all at the most playable frame rates in the market! Failure, I don't think so!But really, wasn't it meant as a demo for what AGP was capable of? Until the i740 there really wasn't much performance difference between PCI and AGP variants of the same chipsets. The i740 changed that.
