ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TP470EZ Among First to Feature Intel DG1 Graphics

[btarunr]

ASUS unveiled a special variant of its 2020 VivoBook Flip 14 convertible notebook, which features the "First Intel Discrete Graphics," expected to be the Iris Xe DG1 discrete GPU based on the Xe LP architecture. Intel appears to be promoting the combination of the Iris Xe dGPU with its 11th Gen Core "Tiger Lake" mobile processors, as a potent ultra portable computing solution with rich graphics and mobile gaming. This eats into the markets of entry-level dGPUs by NVIDIA and AMD. Intel is also developing an iGPU+dGPU Multi-Adapter technology that could leverage asymmetric explicit multi-GPU to accelerate gaming performance. The VivoBook Flip 14 TP470EZ features a 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display, and so the combination of the "Tiger Lake" Xe LP iGPU and dGPU could take a swing at Full HD AAA and e-sports gaming.

Lol no, this won't be a gaming laptop for e-sports competitors.

Would be interesting to see how much performance gain from iGPU handling part of compute pipeline, currently I am guessing maybe just 5%.

A "VivoBook" for eSports? Nah. If this was in the TUF or ROG line then maybe, but then it would only be limited to light FPS like VALORANT or CS:GO.
