Intel Lunar Lake With Battlemage iGPU Almost 2x Faster Than Arrow Lake With Alchemist+ iGPU In Early Benchmark Leak

wccftech.com:

Early benchmarks of Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake & Arrow Lake iGPUs featuring the Alchemist+ "Xe-LPG+" and Battlemage "Xe2" GPU architectures have leaked out.

Intel has its hardware and software teams hard at work on the next-generation Battlemage and Celestial GPUs which will be arriving in discrete and integrated variants. Meanwhile, Intel's CPU division is also working with the GPU team to integrate next-gen GPU architectures within their upcoming lineups such as Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. Both of these CPUs are confirmed to be delivered in the second half of 2024.

We have previously seen entries of Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake CPUs in SiSoftware Sandra but the latest one is an interesting one, particularly since the focus is on the iGPU. The benchmark leak for both chips is based on very early samples so final performance can vary, this is something for you to keep in mind.

Starting with Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs, the Core Ultra Series 2, these chips will house the latest Lion Cove P-Core, Crestmont+Skymont E-Core, and Alchemist+ graphics architecture. Intel's Alchemist+ or Xe-LPG+ is a refined version of the existing Alchemist "Xe-LPG" GPUs and we can expect a range of improvements such as increased clocks.

The CPU spotted is a 64 EU SKU that ran between 1.7 and 2.0 GHz clock speeds. This chip offered a maximum GPU Processing performance of 1075.69 Mpix/s. This is slightly faster than the Intel Meteor Lake 64 Execution Unit chips which were tested last year.

The second chip that has been leaked is the Intel Lunar Lake engineering sample which has 20 cores and a clock speed of 1.0 GHz base and up to 3.91 GHz boost clocks. This chip also has 64 Execution units and was running between 1.75 to 1.85 GHz clock speeds. This chip
