    On the topic of disappointment: I ordered a prebuilt because it's basically the only slightly convenient way of getting a GPU these days and when it arrived I found that the assembler had chosen to not peel the plastic film off of my M.2. I am sure they left this for me because most people enjoy peeling these off and not because they aren't paying attention or worried about the quality of the prebuilt systems they ship out for wildly inflated and predatory prices. I probably wouldn't even have noticed, but they strategically slotted the drive in the wrong slot on the motherboard which does not support the tech that I specifically purchased the upgraded drive I did to take advantage of. Great thinking on their part.

      I mean, it is.

      Maybe intel can but into the GPU market, but i very much doubt it will happen in the next few years unless they come out with some VERY impressive cards and they are proven to be good quality (ie last while, overclockable). But that still keeps the market with 'the big three'.

      Can't wait for all the crybabies to scream "triopoly" when they find out that Intel is as powerless as AMD and Nvidia when it comes to controlling retail prices of their GPUs. Intel is brining out a compute focused architecture based on TSMC N6 (so better than both AMD and Nvidia). Of *cause* it's going to be efficient at mining.
