I was wondering if someone could shed light on the relationship between the two LLVM based Fortran compilers flang and IFX. Is there cross-pollination or are they completely separate development branches?

Completely separate.  We use our own Intel Fortran Front End.  Flang-new is an open source front end with vendor funded development assistance.

The only similarity is that the 2 use the LLVM framework.
