I’m honestly surprised Intel didn’t try to launch their GPUs with a console.
There’s no better environment to prove your hardware while devs optimize to it.
The whole Dx12 vs older APIs would have been a non issue & given them another year or two to work things out.

A lot harder to convince Sony or Microsoft to leave the established AMD platform for a new and untested at scale platform. Especially when consoles are thin margin items, any hardware issue is going to cut deep.

Also intel did not have the patenofor gpus, which expired in 2020 I believe.

..Intel has been making GPUs for a few decades. Just not discrete GPUs

The patent for what exactly? There's any number of GPU manufacturers. I don't believe any of them all have a common patent.
