Intel ARC GPUs, Xe Architecture for dGPUs [2022-]

Intel engineers have been spotted working on Xe3 (codenamed Celestial) enablement in Linux’s grand archive of all mail that affects kernel development. The latest update to the drm-xe-next pull request, dated October 10, 2024, was flagged by Phoronix after it showed several references to Xe3. This probably means that driver development for this GPU architecture has begun for Linux, even though discrete Xe2 Battlemage GPUs are yet to hit the market.
 
amd needs to get these chips in more laptops. lunar lake launched later and has easily twice as many laptops available. also the majority of the ai 9 laptops are also paired with a dgpu, (nvidia of course because although amd allegdly makes mobile graphics they dont sell them they just like filling up a warehouse with them). but why pair your most powerful igpu with a discrete card if that apu is supply constrained?
