The death of Intel Arc seems to be greatly exaggerated.

Which shouldn't be a surprise, they are marketed for gaming.
If you're trying to run compute/ML workloads however, then there would be no need to bother with one of these.

They've already launched data center products, based on these GPUs, over a month ago (August 24th). ML and compute would seem to be some of the core workloads for which they're intended. So, I'd be pretty surprised if they flat-out didn't work.
Also, I've used Intel iGPUs for both compute and ML workloads. I've found their GPU compute stack to be stable for years.

IMHO big failed opportunity this could have been the big differentiator. Almost anybody with a ESXI or KVM rig at home would have bought ARC cards without thinking twice had they come with SRV-IOV support.
How stupid, they can keep their useless ARC cards in such case.## VGA ##

While there are many who think this is just going to go away, I rather doubt that. Intel has loads of money. They want to compete, not just to make more money, but also to deprive AMD of revenue.
Intel GPUs typically have sucked in the past. These sound better, but I have never owned any Intel GPU/APU. So I cannot know.
But I think Intel can at least break even by offloading these onto OEMs for idiots to buy thinking it is good. And that will deprive AMD and Nvidia of a sale. That is all Intel is after right now.
I hope they manage to make a good GPU, and I really hope they turn the driver into something good too.
I am an AMD fan all the way. But competition is always good.
