Intel's Xe GPU featured on 11th Generation Tiger Lake CPUs has once again been benchmarked and this time the chip performs on par with NVIDIA's fastest MX series discrete graphics that are featured inside most mainstream laptops.
Intel Tiger Lake Xe GPU With 96 EUs Matches The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 Discrete GPU & Blazes Past AMD's 7nm Vega iGPU In Latest Benchmarks
The various benchmark entries come from TUM_APISAK & Rogame (via Videocardz) which show the performance versus NVIDIA & AMD based mobility based graphics chips for mainstream and entry-level laptops.
The specific Xe GPU which has been tested is part of the Core i7-1165G7 configuration. Do consider that the Core i7-1165G7 is not the fastest Tiger Lake CPU configuration as that title belongs to Core i7-1185G7. Regardless, the Xe GPU is based on the Gen 12 GPU architecture which features 96 EUs which make up 768 cores in total. This chip is clocked at 1.3 GHz and the chip shares its power with the entire Tiger Lake SOC which has a base TDP of 15W that is configurable up to 28W. The Xe GPU was tested with LPDD4x memory which operates at 4266 MHz.
