I can't see any scenario where Drake gets canceled. One option that makes sense to me is that they found 8nm to be lacking and decided to go for a better node, pushing 8A78Cs, 12 SMs, etc. And thus we're getting it later. Maybe early Drake was Dane (like early-mid 2020, pre COVID) with 6 CPU cores and 8 SMs. Then the pandemic and chip situation quickly made them pivot to the current chip we know and they said, "Screw it, if we're not doing a mid-gen update, then let's go as balls to the wall as we can with Drake".
So 'late 2022-Q1 2023" (which to be fair, MZ only said late 2022 was "the earliest" Drake could release) was "shelved" in favor of something in May with Zelda (slightly less likely now) or a holiday 2023 release. That could be a scenario where 3rd parties said, "well if you're delaying it to make it even more powerful, then that's fine".
Who knows. Just trying to make sense of everything.
