Kinda scary where we are heading as consumers for the GPU market.... A monopoly is pretty much occurring with both teams. This is why Intel NEEDS to "step their game" up and compete with the "big boys".

True, but they have one hell of a bad reputation to fight, and their marketing is frankly hilarious as well. Intel iGPUs have been notoriously bad for ages now, being essentially glorified video decoders, yet they also have an entire website dedicated to advertising those as gaming GPUs and listing recommended settings for a list of mainstream games. Unsurprisingly those settings are low even for old games, and for new games they kick down the resolution on top of that to get anything out of those chips. And I still have my doubts about it being playable. 

Now from that point they suddenly launch dedicated GPUs. They have a big fucking swamp that they need to get their reputation out of before those dedicated GPUs will be taken seriously, even if they are good. Which they might be once the driver issues are sorted out, but thats yet to happen. 

But then again, this is probably their best launch window anyway, so they had to launch what they have, because the market is just that desperate right now regardless.
