No server-supplied metadata is trustworthy enough to base your business decisions on. If 80% of the internet traffic was illegal server-based video streaming, those providers would simply be changing the metadata every time they got “profiled”. Some probly even do it proactively. Intel would be much better off to focus on what the cpu is asked to do (decode 4:4:4 h265 and/or aggressively tune for low latency, for example).

Exactly. Why do they need to know categories of websites? They should be collecting the things your computer is doing from a technical standpoint. Then I could be convinced that they were trying to learn how to improve their products from an engineering perspective. As it stands CIP looks like a way to use the large installed base of their products to improve the marketing/partnership side of their business.
