An unidentified Intel XE graphics card that has just been marked in a benchmark leak seems to be a version of Intel’s Alchimist Discrete Arc Discrete GPU, teases the possibility we can see the hottest flagship solution In game laptops next year maybe.
PC Gamer spotted the Geekbench 5 result as marked on Twitter by a less familiar source for us, even if it has yet provided previous spills, namely bay, so a lot of salt here, but it is an observation very interesting.
As you can see, the GPU is only designated as an Intel XE discrete graphics card that works in a Tiger Lake laptop, but it has 512 EUS (runtime units), which means that it is certainly certainly Not a current XE laptop card and that the number of the EU corresponds to Alchemist, and the top-end configuration of Intel incoming arc GPUs. It is shown with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz, although it can be pushed higher with the release version.
Remember that Alchemist should not start before the beginning of 2022, and we still have no idea when the portable versions of these discrete cards will be in the mixture, so it’s obviously a chip at the beginning of the sample.
Due to this, the result of 34,360 for the OpenCL score is not something we can draw real conclusions from, except that it seems to be in the right ballot newsletter for such a pre-release product. . In addition, Geekbench is far from the best place to evaluate the performance of a GPU, anyway (there is a lot of benchmarking software for this work).
Analysis: An excellent news for travel games?
Obviously, we need to be cautious here, but it certainly looks like a resolver index that for a long time we will have new serious portable computers of new games. If a notebook can pack an Intel Alder Lake processor – with its major design innovations on the Mobile Front, with the hybrid architecture offering clear benefits for laptops – next to a flagship Alchemist GPU, the potential performance jump In the game for 2022 (maybe earlier in 2022) is something to be excited about it.
Think of it in this way: we have what you could hope to be a seriously powerful arc liner rate, associated with all the benefits of the Alder Lake battery promises to bring laptops and that it should do Non-simple portable computers with more gaming, but models that can last a little longer on the move too.
