My general take is all of The GPU design efforts are going toward Enterprise / datacenter graphics cards. They are just skipping a generation or two of consumer.
Druid, the 4th generation, has been shelved entirely, and all consumer DGPU products, possibly _all_ DGPU products, have been killed for Celestial.
Its likely the only products shipping with Celestial will be IGPUs for the next generation and a half, until Serpent Lake comes out with RTX graphics tiles from Nvidia, and then never another Xe product ever again.
Battlemage was still while Pat Gelsinger was CEO, and he was the only real champion of that product, understanding its place in Intel's overall strategy.
He doesn't work there anymore, and neither does a significant fraction of the GPU engineering team.
