Quote from: Prassel on Today at 10:51:33No. You don't have to calculate anything. Performance is roughly known already.
Time Spy scores of the fastest G-series CPU, that were measured years ago, have been quoted in the same post. But the calculation aligns pretty much exactly with the bandwidth. So now you at least know that 96 GB/s is the maximum iGPU performance one can expect and going beyond 12 CUs wouldn't make sense ;-)
Quote from: Worgarthe on Today at 15:23:05because cheap dGPUs for desktops will still outperform anything that an iGPU can offer. For less money.
As I have shown in my previous post indeed. But, ok, here more concrete:
- The 8700G costs 270 and achieves 3300 in Time Spy (12.22 points per price).
- The RX 7600 costs 280 and achieves 10450 in Time Spy (37.32 points per price).
- The RX 9060 XT costs 440 and achieves 14602 in Time Spy (33.18 points per price).
This is
3 times the FPS per price for the RDNA3 RX 7600 dGPU (and still
2.7 times for the newer RDNA4 RX 9060 XT dGPU) and you can upgrade it.
Quote from: NVL-S on Today at 11:30:46I don't really consider 6400 MT/s as fast. More like 9600 or at least 8533.
Sure, 9600 MT/s exists, but CAMM2 needs to come to desktop motherboards first. The question right now is does higher MT/s values lead to such high latencies, that the 1% and .1% FPS lows suffer?:
Quote from: Panther Lake 1% lows on February 25, 2026, 09:18:33YT/Just Josh tested the Asus ExpertBook Ultra Panther Lake laptop (youtu.be/jduWl1J_4lQ?t=637), but what is up with the 1% FPS lows? He even points it out. Looking at the results, all Panther Lake Arc B390 are affected:
Cyberpunk 2077 (1920x1200, High settings):
ProArt PX13 (RTX 4060 | 95W): 91 FPS 1% lows
LOQ (RTX 5050 | 100W): 53 FPS 1% lows
ExpertBook Ultra (Intel Arc B390): 44 FPS 1% lows
Zenbook Duo (Intel Arc B390): 45 FPS 1% lows
XPS 14 (Intel Arc B390): 36 FPS 1% lows
The LOQ doesn't look too good either.
Now I wonder about Panther Lake' 10% lows, too.
