Intel draws a line in the sand to boost gross margins — new products must deliver 50% gross profit to get the green light (www.tomshardware.com)

So does this mean they are giving up on Arc dGPUs? There is no way they can maintain 50% gross margins for Arc.

I agree it's highly unlikely Intel makes much on Arc. But discontinuing it seems incredibly stupid. Even AMD continued Radeon development when it wasn't very profitable for them, and they were short on money for development.
And now Radeon is a significant part of AMD's datacenter compute, that AFAIK is highly profitable.
Of course they are kind of working in the shadow of Nvidia, but Nvidia has such insane profits, that it makes room for high profitability for secondary players, if they can deliver something decent.
And if Nvidia fucks up, AMD is ready.
