I've been wondering how much of this Intel saying what they have to to retain investor confidence, i.e. 'no we're not throwing Arc away!', vs. what they're actually going to do once the dust clears.

I guess it depends on what exactly is their current roadmap & how future sales impact that roadmap

They will have to have an igpu team forever
They would also be eyeing a DC GPGPU from profitability angle. (But Nvidia is the wrong company to tie up for that. Maybe Broadcom ? )

Desktop consumer GPU causes a lot of pain but would be short sighted to kill it off completely

"Complimentary"

I think this is more nVidia taking advantage of a wounded competitor.

"Oh, remember that time when you wouldn't license us x86? We are about to own you. This is just our way of getting around anti-trust."
