Intel Meteor Lake iGPU Goes Toe-To-Toe With Radeon 680M In Early Benchmark Run
We made a quick benchmark chart to present the data in a clear fashion for you. Note that none of this is our data; all of these results originate with Geekbench's own result database. As you can see, the Core Ultra 7 155H's integrated GPU puts up a respectable performance against AMD's integrated parts as well as Intel's own entry-level discrete GPUs. We'd expect this part to be more than capable of casual and retro gaming.
Meteor Lake's integrated GPU is branded "Intel Arc Graphics" because it uses what is fundamentally the same GPU architecture as the company's extant discrete Arc graphics. Rather than the Xe-HPG design in the discrete Arc parts, Meteor Lake's iGPU is based on Xe-LPG. The primary difference is that Xe-LPG doesn't include the "XMX" matrix math accelerators found in Intel's Arc discrete GPUs.
Of course, those probably wouldn't be used in this kind of test, so Xe-LPG probably performs similarly or identically to Xe-HPG here, which explains the results that we're seeing.
We're obligated to mention that an OpenCL benchmark doesn't say anything about the GPU's gaming performance, nor other important qualities like power efficiency, stability, software support, and so on. Still, this is an encouraging early result for Intel's forthcoming Meteor Lake platform.
