Meteor Lake would probably be more relevant for that than a desktop system, because my 155H's iGPU is more powerful than the one in desktop Arrow Lake.
My much more pedestrian wish is/would have been Intel swapping the Alder Lake Gracemont 4E cluster in the N100 for the Raptor Lake 4E in their N150. That would have doubled the L2 Cache for the four Gracemonts (2 MB -> 4 MB). Instead Intel just increased the speed, which doesn't help efficiency.
That all being said, I agree that a mini-PC or NAS with eight or more Skymont cores could be an attractive offering.
Would you consider running those games solely on the Arrowlake i-gpu at lower resolution?
I think a homebased mini-PC with all E-Cores setup and a well-tuned i-gpu combination may appeal.
Ideally all E-Cores + some combination of the stacked caches (then it can address partially backend memory bound)

i had the wrong impression it was using arc graphics as well.
Looked up intel sites.
Arrowlake "K" series only has intel graphics and not intel arc graphics tile which comes with Meteor Lake 155H.
Agree. I have that same Meteor Lake in my laptop, and its Arc iGPU gives a good account of itself.
