So, it's likely if Intel gets really good with GPU's, they will hurt nvidia much more, and we can potentially expect even better Mesa drivers. So far, it "smells" like cryptothingy is here to stay, and Intel saw a potential in that market, so it is resonable to assume that would be their primary target = expect GPU's more similar to AMD ones, with mroe compute power = "longer lasting" GPU's that can age well, as AMD ones, nvidia GPU's do not age well historically, simply because they lack compute power (I even remmeber back in the days of 8000 series, with 8800 doing extremely poor job in compute intensive games, while similar AMD GPU's doing much better, 8800GT simply had terrible input lag despite high FPS, even tho shader clock was high, but arround 500GFLOPS vs 800+GFLOPS was big enough to make the difference).
