Comment on Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal

“We’re not discussing specific roadmaps at this time, but the collaboration is complementary to Intel’s roadmap and Intel will continue to have GPU product offerings,” Intel told PCWorld, reiterating the commitment that Intel’s Michelle Johnston Holthaus made before she abruptly left the company.
I don’t see any commitment in that statement. Indeed it seems carefully worded to avoid making any particular commitment.
Because the deal is probably not about graphics. As with everything these days, it’s AI. We’ll be seeing the announcement of the nvidia powered Intel AI CPUs soon.
In that context Intel’s GPU is a completely video provider to Intel’s AI GPU chiplets.
How long that lasts…

If they fire the whole arc GPU department, stop any development and exclusively sell graphics made with Nvidia chiplets, that statement “Intel will continue to have GPU product offerings” is still true
