[quotemsg=16397229,0,1786133]and why the hate on the igp?[/quotemsg]
The rationale most enthusiasts use is that the die area used by the IGP could have been used for more cores or more cache, or that the die area could have been reduced to lower cost.
As for why they are more upset about AMD focusing on CPUs with IGPs, that would likely have to do with how AMD lags so far behind Intel on CPU performance under most scenarios. Since the gap between AMD and Intel CPU performance is so wide, people simply accept Intel's IGP as part of the price premium. For those who adamantly refuse to pay for an Intel IGP of any sort, even disabled as is the case with some LGA115x Xeons, but still want Intel's CPU performance, there are the LGA2011(-v3) options.
