Shortly after the HP Specter x360 with Intel Core Extremely 7 155H was leaked, an Asus Zenbook 14 (UX3405) primarily based on the identical processor appeared in Geekbench 6 OpenCL. The Intel Arc iGPU achieves considerably higher efficiency on this benchmark run than within the final leak, through which the chip was examined as a part of an MSI Status 16 Evo, however primarily based on the older Geekbench 5 OpenCL model.
With 33,948 factors, Intel can exceed the typical consequence achieved by the AMD Radeon 780M in our assessments by a exceptional 24.5 p.c, though the quickest Radeon 780M we now have examined to this point doesn’t fall far behind Intel with 31,921 factors. The Intel Iris Even the Apple M3 “solely” achieved 30,414 factors, which makes the Intel Arc iGPU 11.6 p.c extra highly effective.
Intel nonetheless cannot sustain with trendy, devoted laptop computer GPUs – the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 laptop computer GPU achieves greater than twice the efficiency with 82,338 factors, and even the older GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q averages round 65,000 factors in Geekbench 6 OpenCL. The equally geared up, devoted Arc A380 stays round 9.2 p.c quicker because of larger energy loss and its personal graphics reminiscence. Solely extra detailed assessments will present whether or not this sturdy efficiency for iGPU requirements will be transferred to video games – Intel’s drivers have to this point been the Achilles heel of Arc graphics playing cards, even when the corporate has made large enhancements over the previous few months.
