Intel has powered on the Ponte Vecchio A0 silicon and it seems to be working perfectly. This is great news for Intel investors because Ponte Vecchio was the company's most ambitious moonshot in quite a while and considering it had no prior discrete graphics experience it is very impressive that Masooma Bhaiwala and her team, led by Raja Koduri seem to have gotten it right from the get-go.

Intel also admitted several faults in its graphics side during Intel Architecture Day 2021 but also said that they had fixed every last one of those with the Xe HPC architecture. The graph below shows a blue line (Intel graphics) and a green line (a competitor that is likely NVIDIA). As you can see, before 2021, the blue line was significantly under the green line but as of the Ponte Vecchio A0 silicon power on, this has changed.
