So we set out to test this claim as well by picking up a Whiskey Lake-based system powered by the top processor from that generation, the Core i7-8565U.
#Ice lakes the game plus
While the 3700U’s Vega 10 GPU still led in several games and applications, the Iris Plus Graphics were very close in performance, if not ahead in some categories.īut Intel made another, related claim prior to Ice Lake’s launch: that Gen11 graphics would be up to twice as fast as the “Gen9” UHD 620 graphics found in the preceding Whiskey Lake platform (“Gen10” graphics, which would have made their debut on Intel’s semi-aborted Cannon Lake platform, were never productized). The results for Gen11 Iris Plus Graphics were impressive. We tested that claim earlier this month by comparing the first shipping Ice Lake system, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 with the top-end i7-1065G7, to a Lenovo ThinkPad T495 powered by AMD’s top processor in that same 15W TDP category, the “ Picasso”-based Ryzen 7 3700U. Intel claimed that this new graphics architecture – now officially named “Iris Plus Graphics” – would significantly close the gap with, or even exceed in some cases, AMD’s Ryzen mobile graphics in the same power range. In the lead up to the launch of its new Ice Lake platform, Intel frequently touted the improved “ Gen11” integrated graphics that would be making their debut in the 10nm mobile processors. We test Intel’s claim that Ice Lake graphics are up to twice as fast as last year’s Whiskey Lake We test Intel’s claim that Ice Lake graphics are up to twice as fast as last year’s Whiskey Lake.
