I'm really looking forward to these cards to see how much they've improved upon the first generation though Intel execs saying they might drop out of the GPU market altogether doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. I hope they will at least keep supporting these for the years to come.
As long as they can keep costs down on battlemage and it's reasonably well performing then I doubt they're dropping GPUs any time soon. They made a die bigger than a 3070, but charged half the price. I don't think they even could make money on alchemist if they tried. Plus they can glom it onto their CPUs and make them compete with AMD's APUs and open up a whole new market segment for them.
