very interesting, the next generation of PC handhelds might have a significant performance boost with this chip. The question is now pricing, because this won’t matter that much if the handhelds using them are $1500.
How are Intel GPUs on Linux ?
xe driver on first gen has no hardware encoding/decoding, vulkan performance isn’t up to par, no power usage exposed yet iirc
The reason you don’t hear much is because they usually Just Work.
Decent I think, as long as you don’t want to use XeSS

What a time to have AMD CPUs and Intel graphics.
And Steam shipping an ARM desktop alongside their x86 handheld.
Not an ARM desktop, but an ARM headheld.
And virtual ram
Intel be like:
“My products are rand(50,80) % better than AMD. Trust me bro”
Intel has been beating mid range AMD and low end Nvidia for over a year so it’s worth looking at.
Yeah. If you’re looking for cheap bang for the buck Arc B580 is comparable to RTX 4060 while being half the price of a 4060. People are seriously sleeping on Intel GPUs. If you’re on a budget Intel GPUs are the way to go.
Aren’t the drivers kind of ass though still?
Exactly what I’ve heard; essentially, they work pretty well for recent games, but they suck for patient gamers.
Kinda makes the idea of using them in a handheld a non-starter for a lot of people, since older games are amazing on a lower-powered handheld PC.
Memory is extremely overclocked, and AMD hasn’t announced their Zen 6 mobile cpus yet
But yes, 2/3nm apus will do amazing things for handheld gaming.
And we are still waiting for RDNA4 on AMD’s APUs
