Yeah, they are planning on HPC/workstation/server stuff and consumer stuff.

Xe.
I think Intel could have chosen any word, phrase, or combination of letters at random, and the name would have been of more interest to me (their target demographic). Out of near-infinite choices, they literally chose the worst one available. I’m not sure how that’s possible. They’d do better having a computer algorithm just pick randomized gibberish.
The entire marketing division needs to go. Just empty it completely. Having nothing is better.

... iiiffff they're going after the consumer / gamer market instead of the data center market.

The rumors of a mid-2020 launch for the Intel Xe graphics card come from industry sources, according to DigiTimes. Apparently, the sources have said that: “Instead of purely targeting the gaming market, Intel is set to combine the new GPUs with its CPUs to create a competitive platform in a bid to pursuit business opportunities from datacenter, AI and machine learning applications.”
That means that Intel’s upcoming graphics card might not be aimed at gamers. The focus on AI and machine learning applications in particular could worry Nvidia, which has been investing heavily in those areas.
