"Stronghold" is a joke phrase, is it not? Intel had ZERO progress in integrated graphics from 2013-2020. ZERO. That's the reason why "it works so well" - because they NEVER improved the performance or architecture! Sure, they diddled with the number of CU's, but as far as graphics architecture, they never changed it, and it was POOR to begin with (couldn't do 1080p esports very well ...)

Are x86 consoles a joke?

Consoles have very little lock-in on their architectural choices, since they only ever support a small set of hardware configurations in the first place. I guess some of the current generation are x86-based but it would be very easy to move to ARM for the next generation if they wanted to.
