Intel’s press release: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/opinion/tho...

> We expect that our circuit innovations will deliver a blockchain accelerator that has over 1000x better performance per watt than mainstream GPUs for SHA-256 based mining.

Sounds like they are making SHA256 ASIC specifically for Bitcoin mining and comparing its performance to GPUs, while no one uses GPUs for Bitcoin mining anymore.
