If the plan is to get rid of integrated graphics on mid to high end desktop parts... IMHO, that would be Intel putting a gun to their own head. One of the more compelling features of Intel CPUs is the breadth of their iGPU implementations (vs. AMD). Just saying. Makes you wonder anyhow. Who knows?

Don't get your hopes up about this one. It is a locked-in card that won't work in normal motherboards:
The Iris Xe discrete add-in card will be paired with 9th gen (Coffee Lake-S) and 10th gen (Comet Lake-S) Intel® Core™ desktop processors and Intel(R) B460, H410, B365, and H310C chipset-based motherboards and sold as part of pre-built systems. These motherboards require a special BIOS that supports Intel Iris Xe, so the cards won’t be compatible with other systems.

Counting iGPU, Intel could probably already be called a top GPU vendor... Anyhow, a modern, low-TDP discrete GPU capable of handling 2-3 4k displays with minor loads like video decoding and desktop compositing, with a proper Linux support would be a cool product. For now, there is technically Radeon 5500, but it is a total overkill.
Just like the only usable Microsoft products are their keyboards, maybe Intel will also settle on great peripherals (;

Hopefully it will only be the proprietary Windows driver that will be artificially crippled?

Which will be hilarious, if it's viable and we might see AMD CPU and Intel GPU systems. Oh how the turns have tabled!
