Intel's integrated DX10 part will be slow as a dog

Intel's integrated DX10 part will be slow as a dog: "One developer of a DX10 game planned to come out in fall of 2007 told us: 'We can all do a fallback to SM3.0 or 2.0 for slower graphics parts. However, the product has to have horsepower - judging by our previous experiences with Intel's integrated hell, we'll just spend more man-hours to make our game run faster than a slideshow.'"

I think this is an example of too much market spread for Intel. They were doing better as a leaner, meaner processor generating machine (rather like what AMD is doing now). Product bloat is hurting them.
