gaming is one of the things that drive innovation
when do people buy new computers?
when the old ones are too slow to do what they want
people that need/want speed will pay a premium

intel has been busy trying to get rid of the gpu
and dsp-based audio

they are close to eliminating these audio cards
but they haven't come close in the video department

intel is a stable and trusted supplier
it should do less to cut people out of the business
and more to seek customers into buying their products
