Intel "Tiger Lake" Gen12 Xe iGPU Shown Playing "Battlefield V" By Itself
In what is possibly the first taste of Intel's Gen12 Xe iGPU running a AAA game, Ryan Shrout, chief performance strategist at Intel, showed off a prototype notebook running a "Tiger Lake" processor that is playing "Battlefield V" by itself (without discrete graphics). "Perks of the job! Took a prototype Tiger Lake system for a spin on Battlefield V to stretch its legs. Impressive thin and light gaming perf with Xe graphics! Early drivers/sw, but it's the first time I've seen this game run like this on integrated gfx. More later this year!," said Shrout.
The gameplay video (linked as source below), shows a playable experience for "Battlefield V" with Gen12 Xe, with 1080p at around 30 Hz. It only serves to appetize us for what would come next, when Intel scales up this IP to discrete GPUs. The Gen12 Xe iGPU appears capable of e-sports gaming with the right settings, and could spell serious trouble for cheap dGPU solutions such as the GeForce MX series or Radeon RX 530 series.

Actually I am really excited to see where this goes.
Intel getting into the graphics market should be good for everyone.
I want to see them offer competitive discrete cards fighting against AMD and NVIDIA, so for the 1st time in my memory we actually have 3 viable major manufacturers in that space, and I really hope all the tech they develop spreads across all their offerings, so we might possibly see some new multi-layered Foveros chips embedding this kind of tech in super small, and lower cooling requirement systems.
If my new home-brew set-top box could look much more like my old Blu-ray player instead of a big fat stereo receiver, because it didn't need a massive power supply or cooling system, but also play Battlefield or Crysis, all while looking perfectly at home under my TV, I would be a very happy camper.
Not to mention if graphics power like that becomes less of a limiting factor for gaming with PCs and laptops, think of what that will do for the growth of PC gaming and VR in general.
Look here, at 0:18 :
And other interesting video to compare previous with:
Good luck getting 30fps at native 1080p (100% scalling) with high preset setting.
Ryzen 7 4700U 8C/8T vs Core i7-1165G7 4C/8T

But I find it highly unlikely that the Ryzens-U run at anything different than the normal 15-watt TDP..
