There will be no future Xe GPUs.

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.

Didn’t somebody claim Battlemage was canceled? But they shipped it?

[DiabloD3]

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.

That didn’t answer my question. Did Battlemage ship? And didn’t that streamer in his attic definitively say it was canceled?

[DiabloD3]

I don't understand the joke.

Intel has already stated their deal with Nvidia, this came out in December.

If you think there will be shipping Druid products, I guess you can find out sometime in 2028.
