After Intel released the CPU Gen 11 (Tiger Lake) on notebooks at the beginning of September last. Recently, a new discrete graphics card was released. It goes by the name Iris Max, which uses the same Xe-LP architecture as Intel Iris Xe's onboard graphics of 11th Gen. It will come with the new Intel Deep Link technology and use the PCIe Gen 4 interface to insert the graphics card. This separation is mainly for thin and light notebooks.
For the Intel Iris Xe MAX, the new discrete graphics will enable developers to gain access to a more open software framework. And help reduce the complexity of drivers Including making both the CPU and GPU work at their best.
Next, let's look at the Deep Link feature, it brings together multiple processing mechanisms through a software framework to take CPU and AI performance to the next level. Applications that support Deep Link require Intel's SDK and oneAP I tools to be developed. Developers interested in the Deep Link can register with Intel to request a development kit.
From the table above, it can be seen that The specs are quite different with Iris Xe Max, the main highlight is that it comes with 4GB of LPDDR4X VRAM, which is more than 2GB of discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX family graphics (but GDDR5).
From the graph you can see that the Iris Xe MAX is quite good for the average FPS in gaming, Full HD resolution is better than the MX350 in most games, and Intel claims that this Iris Xe MAx can also perform AI loads up to seven times faster than NVIDIA MX350. Importantly, the Hyper Encode encoding engine is 78% faster than the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q.
However, in the future, Intel will prepare to release a new discrete graphics card. It will be used exclusively for Hi-End gaming and will be launched in 2021 as in the future, Intel will prepare to enter the market of both CPU and GPU on notebooks. Which will have to wait and follow each other.
