Intel Xe Gen 12 is comparable to the results of Ryzen 4000 Vega iGPU

Intel’s first integrated graphics solution based on the ambitious new Intel Xe graphics architecture could compete with AMD’s “Vega” architecture-based iGPU solutions such as those found in the latest Ryzen 4000 series “Renoir” iGPU.

Intel Xe Gen12 corresponds to the Ryzen 4000 iGPU Vega rating in 3DMark

This corresponds to the filtered numbers of 3DMark FireStrike found and shared by the Twitter @_rogame user. The results of a laptop prototype based on Intel’s “Tiger Lake-U” processor appeared in the 3DMark database. This processor includes Intel’s Gen12 Xe iGPU solution, which is reported to offer significant performance improvements over the current Gen11 and Gen9.5-based iGPUs.

The prototype “Tiger Lake-U” 2-core/4-threads processor with Gen12 graphics produces a score of 2,196 points in 3DMark FireStrike, with a graphics score of 2,467 and a score of 6,488 in physics.

These values are comparable with the 8-CU Radeon Vega iGPU. In addition to using the 7 nm process to increase motor clocks, improve the expansion algorithm and modernize the display and multimedia engines, AMD’s iGPU is largely based on the same “Vega” architecture, which is about 3 years old. Intel Gen12 Xe debuts with the “Tiger Lake” microarchitecture planned for 2021.

This means that when Intel releases the processors with the Gen12 Xe iGPU, AMD should have already updated its graphics architecture on its Ryzen APU CPUs with integrated graphics. Nevertheless, it seems to be a very good update from Intel. We will keep you up to date.
