Try looking for very specific use-cases you are doing else generic "llm" may lead you stray and thinking it's easy on Intel GPUs.
LLM - works, MoE Support? reported to be spotty and you'll gonna want this. VLLM, Linux best supported, Windows etc, less so.

ComfyUI use?
Images? seems to work
Videos? idk, but I am not looking to play around with it. I just want to see new stuff works out of the box.
VRAM bandwidth is ~600GB/s, slower than even a 5070 TI 16GB of ~800GBs
it is cheap $1000 for 32GB, but I rather to have stuff that just works as new AI stuff comes out and right now the support is NG.
You can buy now and hoping software gets better, the hardware $ may climb once it runs everything super smooth
32GB VRAM is nice as long as you research what you want to do and not stray from it. If you want to run everything out of the box, Intel GPU is not the path. If you wanna tinker/tweak all settings and hope you hit everything that is supported then sure.
This youtube tried ComfyUI, LTX and Openclaw

Good luck.
I'm sticking with zero hassles setup for now. AMD support is better it seems but RoCM isn't great either.
I literally got 5090 PC (this time it was just 16GB/1TB storage for $3650 or so. I rather upgrade RAM and storage because I can find them cheap and have a proper GPU that works for everything. Yes it's more $ but it just works. I can get 64GB for $670 and I got tons of 1TB NVME so that's just $100 value to me. never have to worry about software compatibility = priceless. Oh it was a 265K CPU instead of 270K but won't affect my use as much.
