The 11th generation GPU architecture (Intel Xe) under development by Intel will find application in both discrete GPUs and integrated graphics in the company's future processors. The first CPUs with graphics cores based on it will be the upcoming Tiger Lake-U, and now it is possible to compare the performance of their "embedded" graphics with the XNUMXth generation graphics of the current Ice Lake-U.
The Notebook Check resource presented data on testing various mobile processors of the Tiger Lake-U family in the notorious 3DMark Fire Strike synthetic test. Specific test results are not specified, but only relative values ββare given. The unit is the performance of the integrated graphics of the 11th generation Iris Plus G4 (48 execution units, EU) in the Ice Lake-U generation Core i3 processor.
According to the data presented, 12th generation integrated graphics with the same number of blocks (48 EU) will provide more than a twofold increase in performance. This can definitely be considered a very impressive result, as well as a demonstration that Intel really put a lot of effort into creating their new graphics architecture. And this gives hope for a decent performance of discrete GPUs of the Intel Xe family.
Even more impressive are the results of Intel's next generation of higher-performance integrated graphics processors. The 5-block Core i80 Tiger Lake-U GPU is almost twice as fast as the most powerful 7 EU Iris Plus G64 graphics in the current Ice Lake-U. Finally, the maximum 96-block Intel Xe "embedded" configuration demonstrates even higher levels of performance, more than twice the current Iris Plus G7.
Recall that Tiger Lake-S processors should debut in the second half of this year. In addition to new graphics, they will also offer new Willow Cove processor cores, and will also be manufactured using an improved 10nm process, due to which they will run at higher frequencies compared to Ice Lake-U.
