True. Yet it remains to be seen if intel can deliver both dGPU performance and driver worth such performance. 10+ years ago AMD/ATi struggled with drivers, and even today people throw it into AMD's face.

Only time will tell. People have always been more critical of ATI/AMD than Intel or NVidia. AMD could release a new GPU arch tomorrow with a 10x performance improvement over the 1080Ti and people would still bash AMD over something.... Personally, I'm a fan of technology. I welcome Intel to enter the graphics market and I look forward to seeing what they deliver, if anything.... I'm just not holding my breath after Larrabee. Larrabee was supposed to be a graphics card. Ended up being an accelerator card instead.
