Just heard rumor within top org that Raja will be out once all DG2 skews are launched by end of this year. He wants to leave immediately but management is requesting him to stay till all DG2 skews launched.

I think after 15 years, I'm finally spotting a trend here... so called "superstars" arrive, getting fat compensation packages, underperform, delivering sub-par products (when they deliver at all), and then golden parachute the he-l out, leaving deadwood leeching off the corporation to deal with the aftermath.
He’s staying on because the optics of the project lead leaving just before mainstream launch are pretty bad. Once the launch is over and the product underperforms expectations, he’ll leave and Intel will distance themselves from the Xe decisions made over the last several years (i.e. throw raja under the bus), and pretend that things will be great going forward.
is this a good thing or bad thing?
No he's still on Twitter, see: https://twitter.com/RajaXg
Raja's twitter account, Rajaontheedge, no longer exists. Maybe instead of deleting all the Intel related posts, it's quicker to just delete the account and start a new one.
And good riddance to him! Clown is leaving at least 3-4 years too late.
He certainly sku’d gfx at intel.
If he really wants to go now I don't think the management can stop him.
