The iGPU is now as good as dGPU
Laptops
Integrated GPUs (iGPUs) have evolved far beyond the basic performance once associated with them, reaching levels that can now rival entry-level discrete GPUs (dGPUs). No longer limited to simple office tasks or light gaming, the latest iGPUs provide substantial power for productivity and gaming alike.
Introducing Intel’s Arc iGPU and AMD’s Radeon iGPU, both pushing the boundaries of integrated graphics. Intel’s Arc iGPU, based on the new Xe2 architecture, delivers up to a 102% performance boost, while AMD’s Radeon iGPU with RDNA 3.5 architecture achieves up to a 33% improvement.
