Looks like Intel is choosing to title its new crescent island cards with the D prefix despite being Crescent Island.
Kind of disappointed that Intel is (probably) not going to release consumer class GPUs. Intel's driver stack was seriously getting mature—both on Linux and Windows. It's always nice to have a third option available.
Its wild to me that intel isnt trying significantly harder on gpus
Theres so much money to be made
Why make consumer margins on consumer GPUs when they could be making enterprise margins on enterprise GPUs?
One word: Volume.
You can make a nice profit off of the enterprise space, but the big winners are the guys who put the work into servicing the consumer market.

I mean, why not both

I believe that their fabs are running at full capacity already at this point. If they were to announce new GPUs, where would they make them?
Agreed. I was really rooting for them to deliver that third iteration to consumers, and retain them as a competitive option in the low to mid range. Pretty sad to see.
I have to agree, and it's sad
At least that driver stack will continue to mature?
On Linux mainly, and almost strictly for compute workloads (not much need to optimize for 3D workloads given the customer base).
They're still using Xe based iGPUs, so 3D still matters.
