When tech company Intel launched their 11th gen core processor, they claimed that it was the “best processor in the market.” One of the many things that Intel boasts about their processor is their new Xe integrated graphics. It is known that the previous integrated graphics of the said company is good for general purpose, but not for gaming. But is it different this time?
Monica Chin from The Verge was able to get her hands on a Tiger Lake reference design that Intel sent to her. Here’s what she found out.
Good news for Intel: Xe graphics are the real deal. Overwatch was playable at 1080p on Ultra (averaging 89fps) and Epic (averaging 59fps). Let that sink in — a system with integrated graphics is running Overwatch, on its highest possible settings, at almost 60fps. That system beat the 4800U, which only managed 46fps on Ultra, and the 1065G7, which didn’t even pass 65fps on low settings in Engadget’s testing. Incidentally, this is also bad news for Nvidia — with integrated graphics like this available, there’s no reason anyone needs to pay for an entry-level GPU like the MX350.
She also pits Intel’s processor against AMD’s to see which outperforms which.
