It looks like our friends at Intel are going to get back into the graphics card business. ArsTechnica cites some recent job posting on the Intel Job Board (nice to see Intel hiring people anyway, I guess).

Intel’s Visual Computing Group (VCG) has the mission to establish the future of computing for high-throughput workloads. We are focused on developing discrete graphics products based on a many-core architecture targeting high-end client platforms. Our vision is that the resulting ingredients and technology will extend to mobile clients, servers, and embedded platforms over time. VCG will initially focus on discrete graphics products but will also expand the previous charter to include developing plans for accelerated CPU integration.

I never understood how a company with the expertise in doing high-end processors could not produce graphics chips with at least the quality of ATI or NVIDIA.
