AMD Says Intel's New Graphics Don't Even Come Close
AMD exec basically laughed off Intel's Panther Lake GPU. Said comparing it to their Strix Halo chip is like comparing a go-kart to a Ferrari.

Okay so I saw this spicy comment from AMD and had to share. Rahul Tikoo from AMD just threw some serious shade at Intel's upcoming Panther Lake processors. When asked about the integrated Arc graphics in Panther Lake, he literally said "it's not even a fair fight" compared to AMD's Strix Halo chips.
Here's what's going down. Intel's been hyping up their Panther Lake CPUs with integrated Arc B390 graphics for 2026. They're positioning it as this big leap forward for integrated graphics. But AMD's response? They're not sweating it. At all.
Tikoo's point was that AMD has different products for different people. If you need serious graphics power, they've got Strix Halo. For regular folks who just want a solid laptop? They've got other options. The message was clear - whatever Intel's cooking up, AMD thinks they've got it covered and then some.
Now I've tested plenty of AMD and Intel chips over the years. This kind of trash talk usually means one of two things. Either AMD really does have something special with Strix Halo that makes Panther Lake look weak. Or they're trying to control the narrative before benchmarks drop. My money's on the first one - AMD's been killing it with integrated graphics lately.
We'll know for sure when both chips hit the market later this year. But right now? AMD's acting like they've already won this fight before Intel even stepped in the ring.
