I wonder why they invest so much into the iGPU of their CPUs. Does anyone really buy a 13700k and then game on it's iGPU?

Perhaps someone here can clarify the logic behind this.

They’re planning to enter the handheld space with meteor lake. Gen to gen improvements with focus on igpu keep them relevant. Can’t fall behind in any space.

ROG Ally is a Z1 extreme AMD apu. Intel is making a meteor lake APU.

Ooh, very interesting, it would be cool to see Intel in the handheld space.

Though what you posted is about Meteor Lake (which is mobile only, not desktop). I specifically wondered about why they would include it in Arrow Lake (Desktop-) chips. Who would ever care about iGPU performance for high-end desktop CPUs?

Arrow Lake will also have mobile SoC. Lunar Lake will only cover the low power mobile segment. Arrow Lake will cover everything else.

Furthermore, iGPU and CPU tiles are separated now, so they can replace the iGPU tile or take it out entirely if they want. My guess is Desktop SoC will have a gimped iGPU version.

You are right, I forgot about mobile ARL.
