The competition between integrated GPUs is about to get heated as Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs approach launch, packing their brand new Arc Xe-LPG iGPUs.
The latest benchmarks have once again leaked within the Geekbench 5 benchmark where we saw a previous entry for the same Intel chip. The chip in question is the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H which is a mainstream SKU within the Meteor Lake family but would see a wide array of options as the higher end parts might be limited in availability at launch and that might stay the case until early 2024. The laptop with the latest performance leak is the ASUS Zenbook 14.
The GPU department on the Core Ultra 7 155H CPU boasts the Intel Arc "Xe-LPG" Graphics solution with 128 EUs or 1024 ALUs clocked at up to 2250 MHz. This is the same clock speed as the last leak but what might be different are the performance/thermal/power profiles. Higher limits and better thermal capabilities can result in a CPU with the same specs performing much better in a cramped environment such as a laptop.
With that said, we also have to remember that Meteor Lake is about a month away so we can see final drivers with proper optimizations to add even more graphics and compute performance. Intel had already stated that their core priorities with Arc were to focus on newer APIs and once those are fully tuned, they can then look into optimizing legacy APIs such as DX10/9, etc. OpenCL doesn't technically land in legacy APIs but it certainly shouldn't sway away the software team's effort from the good work that they have been doing so we might see even better performance down the lane.
In terms of performance, the Intel Meteor Lake's Arc "Xe-LPG" GPU scored 33,948 points, a good increase over the previous entry which now
