Intel Gen12 iGPU With 96 Execution Units Rears Its Head in Compubench
Intel's upcoming Gen12 iGPU solutions are being touted as sporting Intel's greatest architecture shift in their integrated graphics technologies in a decade. For one, each Execution unit will be freed of the additional workload of having to guarantee data coherency between register reads and writes - that work is being handed over to a reworked compiler, thus freeing up cycles that could be better spent processing triangles. But of course, there are easier ways to improve a GPU's performance without extensive reworks of their design (as AMD and NVIDIA have shown us time and again) - simply by increasing the number of execution units. And it seems Intel is ready to do just that with their Gen12 as well.
An unidentified Intel Gen12 iGPU was benchmarked in CompuBench, and the report includes interesting tidbits, such as the number of Execution Units - 96, a vast increase over Intel's most powerful iGPU to date, the Iris Pro P580, with its 72 EU - and far, far away from the consumer market's UHD 630 and its 24 EUs. The Gen12 iGPU that was benchmarked increases the EU count by 33% compared to Intel's top performing iGPU - add to that performance increases through the "extensive architecture rework", and we could be looking at an Intel iGPU part that achieves some 40% (speculative) better performance than their current best performer. The part was clocked at 1.1 GHz - and the Iris Pro P580 also clocked to that maximum clock under the best Boost conditions. Let's see what next-gen Intel has in store for us, shall we?

Or, this could be broadwell all over again.

Eventually faster than the last Vega APU before AMD switches to Navi, after that AMD will be ahead again.
And i bet Intel will never bring Desktop-iGPU-Perf anywhere near AMD.
Where there any of the GT3e (48EU) and GT4e (72EU) solutions broadly available for Desktops? Not really.
Lots of speculation obviously, but I like the idea of it.
So at least until Q2-Q3 2020 they have no incentive to roll out Navi-based APUs in any segment, cause Intel's entire next year is still going to be powered by Gen11 graphics.
I'm still kinda bummed out by recent desktop APUs, but I guess that's what happens when there is no competition...
I'm a developer, a type of engineer. I can appreciate that this kind of work requires a lot of engineering to go right to get a tenth of the way to producing something even worth listening about. While I don't like Intel because of their cronyism I still enjoy the prospect of eventually seeing more competition (at least as far as GPUs are concerned though a third or even fourth AMD/Intel level x86 competitor would be nice). So just in case there are some engineers out there reading the comments please know that not all of us hardware enthusiasts think multi-billion dollar corporations exists to please a 12 year old immature undeveloped egotistical punks.
Unfortunately for us Intel/AMD/Nvidia/etc are faceless corporations that spit out products for money and despite the impressive level of engineering that goes on under the hood, yes, sometimes I am not impressed. Don't be this pompous, it makes you look even more egotistical than the people you want to call out.
Furthermore if people in society aren't held to higher standards then the actual pompous behavior will not be seen as unacceptable and only continues. Your suggestion that I'm pompous by holding others to a standard, like any standard here is akin to a teacher's aid siding with children who refuse to wash their hands after using the bathroom.
And its iGPU is exactly 50% of score of my 2400G vega 11 in 3D mark TimeSpy.
If that's how 64 EUs performed,
96 EUs will be like 75% of Vega 11.
1065G7 has 25W total at best (often the default 15W) to play with.
Best AMD mobile APUs have Vega10.
25W ? That's laughable .
And I didn't even mention the insane temps on this CPU
The pic above is just installing a windows update, it bumps up to peak 80 degree C and throttle .
also this 1065g7 is a $400 CPU
In fact there is a mx250 in there which do exactly the same performance as vega 11.
The Intel iGPU have been improved, but does not meet the Intel PPT hype.
Don't see a single HP busi laptop running 10th gen chips either.
And 3DMark didn't recognize this machine either and gave me the Mystery Machine achievement :)
Sry it is Sunday and I am not going back to the office to check its model name.:roll:
That's the only one I know of that has MX250 onboard, along with 10th gen Core CPU (though I thought those haven't been released yet). Same probably applies to upcoming Probook 600-series G6 (or G7? since they've skipped 9th gen core for it).
