They appear to be backing out (for a little while) of consumer cards, but datacentre/workstation/laptop GPUs are still their focus.

Intel always had that habit of starting an internal conflict whenever whatever potential alternative revenue sources start to threaten their internal dependence on x86

What do you mean, are they still making GPUs? This is a discrete GPU that has just recently been released, and it's one of the most popular GPUs in its class at the moment, due to 32 GiB of RAM for under $1000, which makes it great for LLM inference.

The B70 would have been the B770 bit it was canceled. Celestial has been canceled too.

I thought I had read that too and went to look for clarification and found that they’re just moving to a single architecture for their cards. Seemed reasonable.

I don't know what to believe when it comes to Intel news because they have so many haters.

They'll always have iGPUs so whether or not they stay in the dGPU market depends mostly on whether or not people buy them. So they might not, whole market seems to be moving to SoCs/APUs/whatever you want to call them.
