Integrated graphics in processors is one front on which Intel It has yet to catch up with AMD, but according to a LinkedIn post written by a company employee, it appears that it intends to begin developing and deploying new generations of integrated Xe graphics based on AMD architecture in the coming years. dedicated arch.

In a post on LinkedIn, you could read a mention of Panther Lake, which is supposed to be the generation of processors that will replace Lunar Lake. Furthermore, it is detailed that Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake will use Alchemist-based integrated Xe graphics, Lunar Lake would use Battlemage-based Xe2, and the anticipated Panther Lake would use Celestial-based Xe3. Moving on to graphics processing technologies, the Xe4 remained in the process that would become the Druid.

When it comes to integrated graphics Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake, the first mentioned generation of processors is expected to have 128 execution units (EU), while Arrow Lake would have 192 EU. In both generations, the integrated graphics are expected to be part of the tGPU or tiled GPU arc, which should provide a noticeable increase in performance compared to previous generations of Intel processors.

This leaked information, which should be taken with a grain of salt as it is not official, is in line with others that have been published before. However, it is interesting to see the difference between High Performance Graphics (HPG) and Low Power Graphics (LPG). The first almost certainly points to dedicated graphics models and the second to integrated processors.

So far there is nothing that should really surprise Intel, especially since AMD introduced RDNA 3 in some APU models. Despite the bad taste in the mouth left by the launch of Arc Alchemist dedicated graphics, the company must continue to grind the stone if it does not want to lose weight as a technology in the face of the advancement of ARM and specialized graphics that perform more and more functions.
