Seriously, when is Arc actually launching? Intel has already missed the two most lucrative/profitable dGPU years in the history of computer graphics. "Failure to execute" is such an understatement that it barely qualifies as an accurate description....
Intel's been talking about things Xe/Arc will do for five years now and almost everything they have ever said has become irrelevant because the card never came to market during the lifecycle of those things/topics. I remember Intel promising competitive framerates and solid drivers for their DG2 card ready for Destiny 2's launch in 2017, followed by imminent Xe DG2 launch hype at E3 the following January. That game came and went and all of the hype Intel spun for that was meaningless because we didn't get DG2 then and we still don't have a DG2 today. People have mostly moved on from playing Destiny 2 at this point, and games cycles have moved on half a dozen times since then!
Until there's a released-to-retail dGPU from Intel that normal people can buy, Intel needs to shut the f*ck up and get on with releasing the damn thing, otherwise they're just doing what they've always done. At the moment, despite all the hype, Xe/Arc is still pretty close in product lifecycle to where Larabree was when it was cancelled 20+ years ago.
I doubt Xe/Arc will be cancelled at this point because IGPs are more relevant now than ever, and their graphics tech was built to be scaled up to larger products but the DG1 card launch to select OEMs only with minimal compatibiliy outside niche prebuilts and video encoding builds doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Intel producing a real GPU competitor against AMD or Nvidia.
