ROG Xbox Ally X Ryzen Z2 Extreme is no match for Intel Panther Lake, as leaked 3DMark scores put Intel iGPU 72% ahead

[Redaktion]

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is 10-15% faster in gaming than the ROG Ally X with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme SoC. However, if the leaked graphics performance of the flagship Intel Panther Lake APU is accurate, next-gen Intel-powered portable gaming consoles might have a tremendous edge in raw graphics performance over the ROG Xbox Ally X.

Does anyone really even care? We're talking about a handheld vs a pc?

Panther Lake is a mobile chip only, thus for laptops and handhelds.

Just hope it eventually results in forcing AMD to reduce the price and increase the supply of strix halo, so we can have more design wins and devices with it. That would be nice.

The day Intel consumes less power than AMD is the day hell freezes over. I'd like to game for a few hours, not minutes.

It is not a fair comparison, z2 extreme was launch at beginning at this year, and Intel panther lake only going to release at late Q4, processor or APU performance going to double every year...

Yep, Intel claims better power efficiency of lunar lake Vs strix halo, and on surface it may seem true. Performance/TDP is better in lunar lake. Too bad that Intel's TDP since 2017 means nothing. Take the same tests and compare performance/measured power consumption and lunar lake is 30% behind strix halo.

I suspect that z2 I consuming 65W peak with TDP set at 55W. Panther lake with TDP of 45W is probably peaking around 100W if it's similar to lunar lake in this regard.

You certainly don't care enough to inform yourself of the subjects you seem to give your "opinion" on

The day Intel consumes less power

They kind of already do tbh. The problem is their big.little core design chiplet architecture pretty much only enables them to be more efficient at idle or extremely lightly threaded workloads. We see this with lunar lake getting like 23+ hours vs z2 extreme only 16 hours.

The problem is, most people aren't exactly using their PC's to stare at a desktop all day.

As soon as you put anything remotely mid to high moderate load or something that stresses the 3d gfx driver stack, AMD becomes more efficient then.

AMD's problem is kind of the opposite. Z1 extreme had kind of terrible battery life when playing lighter games and using lower tdp. But we can see they are working on this with the improvements they made on the z2 extreme at 13w and 17w.
