Never thought Intel would be the hero in the GPU space but here we are.

They aren't a hero. They are a company attempting to generate a profit by selling a product. This is likely to be helpful to the consumers, but they aren't making a sacrifice for our benefit.

I was being a bit hyperbolic but if you actually pay attention to what's happening in the industry you'll see a very different approach between Intel and other "companies attempting to generate profit by selling a product".

Yep, first-class Linux support, representative samples provided to reviewers, balanced hardware at reasonable prices. Not every for-profit GPU company does this.

and as soon as intel stops being the underdog in GPUs, they wont either.

Right now they are in the media/consumer blitz stage to generate attention and reputation. Hence all their "good" behavior.

give it a few years of success and they'll be back to paying OEMs to not use competitor products.
