alt Hacker NewsIt is quite telling how good their iGPUs are at 3D that no one counts them in.
I remember there was time about 15 years ago, they were famous for reporting OpenGL capabilities as supported, when they were actually only available as software rendering, which voided any purpose to use such features in first place.
I know that in the past (such as your mentioned 15 years ago) Intel GPUs did have driver issues.

APUs/iGPUs are compared, and here Intel's integrated GPUs seem to be very competitive with AMD's APUs.

You of course have to compare dedicated graphics cards with each other, and similarly for integrated GPUs, so let's compare (Intel's) dedicated GPUs (Intel Arc), too:
When I look at

the current Intel Arc generation (Intel-Arc-B, "Battlemage") seems to be competitive with entry-level GPUs of NVidia and AMD, i.e. you can get much more powerful GPUs from NVidia and AMD, but for a much higher price. I thus clearly would not call Intel's dedicated GPUs to be so bad "at 3D that no one counts them in".
