Intel’s first-generation chiplet processors, code-named Meteor Lake, will embrace a complete chiplet (or “tile”) devoted to graphics. Intel has made some huge guarantees concerning the graphics horsepower of its Meteor Lake processors. At present we have seen the primary GPU benchmark of any form for Meteor Lake, and the outcomes are certainly promising.
Noticed by the ever-watchful Benchleaks bot on Xwitter, the itemizing within the Geekbench database is an OpenCL compute benchmark end result for a Core Extremely 7 155H. That is a 16-core processor (6P+8e+2LP) that, if the Golden Pig is to be believed, will include a 28W TDP. It scores 27,249 factors within the take a look at, which is not a nasty end result in any respect for built-in graphics.
We made a rapid benchmark chart to current the information in a transparent vogue for you. Observe that none of that is our knowledge; all of those outcomes originate with Geekbench’s personal end result database. As you may see, the Core Extremely 7 155H’s built-in GPU places up a good efficiency towards AMD’s built-in elements in addition to Intel’s personal entry-level discrete GPUs. We would anticipate this half to be greater than able to informal and retro gaming.
Meteor Lake’s built-in GPU is branded “Intel Arc Graphics” as a result of it makes use of what’s basically the identical GPU structure as the corporate’s extant discrete Arc graphics. Somewhat than the Xe-HPG design within the discrete Arc elements, Meteor Lake’s iGPU is predicated on Xe-LPG. The first distinction is that Xe-LPG does not embrace the “XMX” matrix math accelerators present in Intel’s Arc discrete GPUs.
After all, these in all probability would not be utilized in this sort of take a look at, so Xe-LPG in all probability performs equally or identically to Xe-HPG right here, which explains the outcomes that we’re seeing.
We’re obligated to say that an OpenCL benchmark does not say something concerning the GPU’s gaming efficiency, nor different essential qualities like energy effectivity, stability, software program help, and so forth. Nonetheless, that is an encouraging early end result for Intel’s forthcoming Meteor Lake platform.
