Well Intel gpus are heavyly used, most common are Ivy Bridge (HD 4000,HD 2500) and Haswell (HD 4400) - they are used more than the first integrated AMD (HD 8800 series) - which is interesting as they are slower on Windows.
Most likely Vulkan can speed things up on Windows as well with the right driver. Well maybe AMD should think about this:

Valve said during their presentation today at GDC2015 that this Intel Linux driver will be open-sourced, but they haven't provided a time-frame for doing so.

They want to opensource it once the Vulkan specs are published.

Originally posted by ObiWan View PostIntel was probably used because LunarG already knows the hardware due to their optimization work.
And the Intel hardware is simpler as AMDs or NVidias, so it was less work.
Although, Vulkan on Intel seems kinda pointless, will be GPU limited anyways.

So that leaves Valve.
And Valve doesn't make any games anymore.
So that leaves nobody.

for your conclusion all apu are pointless, but all intel igpu represents much more maket than amd and nvidia together
