Intel’s first-generation chiplet processors, code-named Meteor Lake, will embody a whole chiplet (or “tile”) devoted to graphics. Intel has made some large guarantees concerning the graphics horsepower of its Meteor Lake processors. Today we have seen the primary GPU benchmark of any form for Meteor Lake, and the outcomes are certainly promising.
Spotted by the ever-watchful Benchleaks bot on Xwitter, the itemizing within the Geekbench database is an OpenCL compute benchmark consequence for a Core Ultra 7 155H. That’s 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 check, which is not a foul consequence in any respect for built-in graphics.
We made a fast benchmark chart to current the information in a transparent trend for you. Note that none of that is our knowledge; all of those outcomes originate with Geekbench’s personal consequence database. As you possibly can see, the Core Ultra 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’d 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 essentially the identical GPU structure as the corporate’s extant discrete Arc graphics. Rather than the Xe-HPG design within the discrete Arc elements, Meteor Lake’s iGPU is predicated on Xe-LPG. The main distinction is that Xe-LPG would not embody the “XMX” matrix math accelerators present in Intel’s Arc discrete GPUs.
Of course, these most likely would not be utilized in this sort of check, so Xe-LPG most likely 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 would not say something concerning the GPU’s gaming efficiency, nor different vital qualities like energy effectivity, stability, software program help, and so forth. Still, that is an encouraging early consequence for Intel’s forthcoming Meteor Lake platform.
