lexluthermiesterWOW! Negativity much everyone?

Here's what stood out to me in the article: 2x Mobile IGP performance at only 28w.

Perhaps I'm a little slow, but that seems like a win. Let the flaming commence..

So Intels' discrete GPU for laptops should be on par with Rembrandt's iGPU then, which smashes Iris Xe. Oh dear.

Let's wait to pass final judgement until after the press has had a chance to actually review the release models. Prototypes and engineering samples are not always a reflection of the final products.
