Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 iGPU Beats AMD RX Vega 10: Benchmarks
Intel is taking big strides forward with its Gen11 integrated graphics architecture. Its performance-configured variant, the Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7, featured in the Core i7-1065G7 "Ice Lake" processor, is found to beat AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 iGPU, found in the Ryzen 7 2700U processor ("Raven Ridge"), by as much as 16 percent in 3DMark 11, a staggering 23 percent in 3DMark FireStrike 1080p. Notebook Check put the two iGPUs through these, and a few game tests to derive an initial verdict that Intel's iGPU has caught up with AMD's RX Vega 10. AMD has since updated its iGPU incrementally with the "Picasso" silicon, providing it with higher clock speeds and updated display and multimedia engines.
The machines tested here are the Lenovo Ideapad S540-14API for the AMD chip, and Lenovo Yoga C940-14IIL with the i7-1065G7. The Iris Plus G7 packs 64 Gen11 execution units, while the Radeon RX Vega 10 has 640 stream processors based on the "Vega" architecture. Over in the gaming performance, and we see the Intel iGPU 2 percent faster than the RX Vega 10 at Bioshock Infinite at 1080p, 12 percent slower at Dota 2 Reborn 1080p, and 8 percent faster at XPlane 11.11.

(I'll mock IGP all day long, but if the TDP is low enough for tablet/surface/ultrabook usage, i'm all for them getting gaming capabilities at low heat/power use)
Now lets hope their dedicated GPU is also worth a damn.
I can only applaud this, good stuff; like I said before, it would be nice if you can deploy this IGPU for some good quality/performance hit free livestreaming using Quicktime.
Now lets hope their dedicated GPU is also worth a damn.
That's 550 vs 835 in the review, a 52% difference.
WHY ?
The Lenovo C940 runs LPDDR4X which goes up to DDR4 4266.
Meanwhile the Lenovo S540 that houses the Vega 10 runs DDR4 2400, and even single channel in some configs.
There are also things like TDP limit setting that Intel can fudge with to get that score that is "technically possible".
As in every Intel released benchmark, you need to take everything with an ocean full of salt.
It says module 1.
Add one more 8GB memory module if your computer allows it and you will get that 50% jump in gpu performance.
You need to run dual channel for iGPU performance.
This is good.

"All laptops with iGPUs are equipped with dual-channel memory, so the results are comparable. "On Lenovo's product page that system uses DDR4-2666, where did you find that 2400? Are they using a preproduction sample?
That is before you use the horrible mess that is intel graphics drivers, in my experience at least.
Remember that there is a Vega 11, even available in a laptop configuration, Ryzen 7 2800H that supports 3200 MHz DDR4 ram.

2- Exccessive needless care about GPUs?
3- Focusing on making a GPU that is way behind the market and try to put it inside your CPU? (Really why?)
Does anyone feels the repeating of what AMD went through just before its dark years?
Intel finally caught up with AMD in IGP performance, i.e. they can offer a similarly powerful solution in mainstream laptops.
Desktops are a different story. I really doubt they'll put such a fast IGP in mainstream CPUs. It doesn't make much sense.
