Intel Core Ultra 7 155H iGPU Outperforms AMD Radeon 780M, Comes Close to Desktop Intel Arc A380
Intel is slowly preparing to launch its next-generation Meteor Lake mobile processor family, dropping the Core i brand name in favor of Core Ultra. Today, we are witnessing some early Geekbench v6 benchmarks with the latest leak of the Core Ultra 7 155H processor, boasting an integrated Arc GPU featuring 8 Xe-Cores—the complete configuration expected in the GPU tile. This tile is also projected to be a part of the more potent Core 9 Ultra 185H CPU. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor has been benchmarked in the new ASUS Zenbook 14, which houses a 16-core and 22-thread hybrid CPU configuration capable of boosting up to 4.8 GHz. Paired with 32 GB of memory, the configuration was well equipped to supply CPU and GPU with sufficient memory space.
Perhaps the most interesting information from the submission was the OpenCL score of the GPU. Clocking in at 33948 points in Geekbench v6, the GPU is running over AMD's Radeon 780M GPU found in APU solutions like AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and Ryzen 9 7940U, which scored 30585 and 27345 points in the same benchmark, respectively. The GPU tile is millimeters away from closing the gap between itself and the desktop Intel Arc A380 discrete GPU, which scored 37105 points for less than a 10% difference. The Xe-LPG GPU version is bringing some interesting performance points for the integrated GPU platform, which means that Intel's Meteor Lake SKUs will bring more performance/watt than ever.

Edit.
nvm:
The other two trillion^2 killed by TikTok obviously :slap:
It's a shame that integrated graphics in desktop CPUs will still be getting the most cut-down piece of junk imaginable instead of a decent unit like here.
Hawk Point is just around the corner...
And then Strix 6 months later.
For example, in this benchmark the A770 scores roughly around the same as the RX 6750XT (105k), but then in games the latter runs 20-30% faster.
Furthermore, in the case of an APU in real-life loads that GPU will be competing with the CPU for power and memory bandwidth. Combine that with the fact that the Redwood Cove cores are a lot less power-efficient than Zen4, and that Xe iGPU is going to have a harder time maintaining those 2.25GHz clocks.Strix Halo is 256bit with a ton of Infinity Cache, 40CU RDNA3.5 GPU, 8+8 Zen5 cores and starts at 25W minimum.
Meteor Lake is probably going to compete with Strix Point, which is an evolution of Phoenix with 4 Zen5 + 8 Zen5c, 16 CU RDNA3.5 and 128bit LPDDR5X.
That being said, we expect AMD to push Nvidia for better GPUs, we expect Intel to push AMD for better iGPUs.
That's the only way I can explain their naming schemes...
Dafuq, Intel. Seriously. 155h. Why not ICU7155HCPUIGP, so we literally can't read it proper.
It seems like a very simple solution to squeeze additional performance out of the existing arch, since adding more CUs wouldn't take AMD anywhere and who knows how much efficiency there is to extract after three revisions of RDNA.
Well if it wasn't for AMD's half decent igpu, Intel would probably be running a prescott era igpu still. So good for competition. Maybe this will spur a decent igpu race.............
