>Intel has no GPU.

I own one, Arc isn't the best, but it's still able to compete with lower end Nvidia and AMD GPUs. They ended up having to mark them down pretty drastically though.

I actually owned an Intel Zenphone about 8 years ago. Aside from being absolutely massive, it was decent.

I think Intel got arrogant. Even today, with all the benchmarks showing Intel isn't any faster than AMD, Intel is still more expensive for PC builds.

Check Microcenter, at least in the US, the cheapest AMD bundle is 299 vs 399 for Intel.

They're lagging behind in every metric.

Yes. Intel might have a GPU, and maybe even a phone SOC, if they tried hard enough. Intel's integrated GPU cores are quite decent; I had high hopes on Arc eventually becoming the third major discrete offering. Alas.

Intel indeed rested too long on their laurels from early 2000s. It's one of the most dangerous things for a company to do.
