Some of the 8 generations of the Core family are first introduced by Intel, such as the Kaby Lake-G with integrated Vega GPUs, and the i7-8559U with Iris 650 core.

From the body of these products, it can be judged that Intel still attaches great importance to the GPU. But using AMD's chip technology is not a permanent solution after all..
In fact, Intel announced its return to the high-performance market in 2017. Why do you say it? Because, historically, Intel has also made connections with discrete graphics cards twice. One is the 740 in 1998, the only one listed in Intel history. The second is the Larrabee project around 2008-2010, which attempted to create an x86 architecture graphics card. The results ended without fail, and finally the Xeon Phi Accelerator project was completed.
According to the previous news, Two new generations of GPUs being developed by Intel are codenamed 'Arctic Sound' and 'Jupiter Sound'.
Also from the news of TheMotleyFool Ashraf Eassa, he disclosed that Intel’s graphics card will also target the gaming market. The person in charge is Raja Koduri..
Raja was formerly the president of AMD RTG. Polaris and Vega are all products of his traders. The 7nm Navi architecture is said to be more fully dominated. Unexpectedly, by the end of 2017, he announced that he will be the one to switch to Intel to lead the latter's graphics products.
Ashraf said that Intel’s new position alone is in some of the most advanced areas of expertise, such as video processing and data center operations. However, Raja persuaded Intel to work simultaneously in the game industry.

It is reported that, The new GPU will be launched in MCM (multi-chip package) This is not the type of expansion card we have seen, but it is the same as the i7-8809G. It is in series with the CPU core and eventually integrated on a single board.
So, this type of product will not impact NV/AMD's desktop cards for the time being, but it's hard to say in the notebook product circle. It must be a bloody hurricane.
