Re: Well then...
Why wouldn't they get the gaming segment? The multi-chip module recently announced offers graphics capabilities only slightly behind discrete graphics - unlike the new mobile Ryzens, which are much better than Intel's ordinary integrated graphics, but which are still significantly more limited than discrete.
So Intel, with what it has announced, would become the only company offering a chip that allows a good gaming laptop to be as thin and light as one with limited graphics - instead of having extra bulk to accommodate a discrete video card.
Given current trends in what laptops are offering, it certainly seems as though it is at least believed that there is a huge demand for thin and light, at least from those who can afford to pay for it. That presumably includes at least some of the gamers who use laptops instead of desktops. Only the likely premium pricing will stand in the way of Intel getting a lock on the games market, it would seem to me.
