Did you not look at the link I provided?

I stopped watching him completely around the time of the intel dGPU release. He would show leaked roadmaps of intel's dGPU launch with Celestial and Druid on there, but the video would be him basically repeating the narrative that the division is on the verge of cancellation and has no future, etc. The documents he has leaked almost never match the titles and narratives he pushes. He's not always wrong, but his biases are clear and the titles are more often misleading clickbait than factual.

Tom Petersen (Lead Intel GPU Engineer) has showed up on multiple interviews with LTT and GN among other tech channels and has talked at length the things his team did on the current gen, with heavy implications of what's coming up next (as far as he can without breaking NDA). His in depth analysis of GPU architecture are a much useful use of my time than listening to a guy that was given 2 leaked slides of a 6-month old powerpoint speculate how it spells doom for whatever company.

If you think logically, it makes zero sense to cancel Celestial now. According to Petersen Arc's hardware team has been working on Druid for months now, and unless the software team is severely behind with the drivers and support then at the very least Celestial will receive a limited release. They already did a limited release of Battlemage to put more resources on Celestial, it would be a shame to throw all that effort away now.

Thanks ill check him out.

> limited release

This is in line with what Tom said about discrete being “effectively cancelled”

Im still interested in hearing what Tom has gotten wrong and i dont mean when intel’s plans change making his old reporting out of date.
