GPD has officially showcased its Pocket 4, which will be featuring the new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. In the performance comparison section, the company claims that the Radeon 890M of the APU can beat the Arc 140V iGPU of the Core Ultra 7 268V. The good part for Intel is that the Lunar Lake iGPU is shown to be better than the last-gen Radeon 780M.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Manufacturer-claims-AMD-Radeon-890M-can-beat-Intel-Lunar-Lake-Arc-140V-iGPU-in-Time-Spy.874757.0.html
Ok, taken with more than a smattering of salt... LOL!!
The GOOD NEWS is that it appears that BOTH CAMPS are paying attention to the iGPU's in their APU's which is GOOD for consumers!!!
Frankly I'd like to see the ARM camp ramp up their iGPU's rather than wasting package space on NPU's and the like.
AMD is still ahead of Intel, but it is finally improving, or so it seems, because this will not be seen until we see it in final products.
The new AMD laptops promise a lot and will surely be much cheaper on Black Friday compared to their Intel counterparts, which in the first generation Xe had many problems that have not yet been solved.
Lunar Lake is only for the 17-28W market, it will never run at 45W, so who cares. Compare the iGPU's at 17W and 28W, not 45W which will be handled by Arrow Lake mobile H apu's.
