HN front page circa September through December of last year. Its part of the $5B investment into Nvidia, and the new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, happily did whatever Nvidia told him to do. Nova Lake (Series 4) is already too late in development to switch, so its shipping with Celestial, and Titan Lake (Series 5) after it will be essentially a Nova Lake refresh using a hybrid tile that is Celestial's graphics engine with Druid's media, memory, and bus controllers (since Druid development has been halted). Serpent Lake (Series 6) will be the first that can ship with Nvidia tiles, which should launch in early 2028. Unless something changes, there will be no DGPU Celestial products. Unfortunately, the ink on the contract is already dry, so this is the end of Intel's GPU unit. |

- Arc discrete (!) gaming (!!) GPUs are canceled,
- consumer gaming (!) SoC Serpent Lake w/RTX in 2028,
- Arc is continued in mobile, professional, iGPU, and DC GPUs,
- Arc team is just fine, Intel cut some jobs but not "the whole team".
