Intel Arrow Lake CPUs To Feature Arc Xe-LPG Plus GPU: Featuring XMX Hardware For XeSS Acceleration

Today is a big day as Intel launches its next-generation Core Ultra CPU family codenamed Meteor Lake, bringing some major design changes.

Intel's technically unified both its Arc discrete and integrated graphics drivers, meaning that all the performance boosts we've seen benefitting the Arc A750 and A770 (less said about the Arc A580 the better) will arrive on its new integrated GPUs around the same time.

Intel have finally confirmed the full lineup and specs for their 14th gen Meteor Lake CPUs, which for now is comprised entirely of ultrathin laptop chips with the new Core Ultra branding. I appreciate that a PC gaming site might not be the most natural home for this information, considering both that these are not technically gaming CPUs and that that Meteor Lake’s most hyped-up feature is more of a productivity aid: a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for client-side AI work. However, as the new H-series parts also integrate Intel Arc graphics for the first time, there is some interesting potential for them to transform lightweight ultrabooks into viable gaming laptops.

The original Doom recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, making me feel quite old. As well as being an early blueprint for the FPS genre, id Software’s iconic shooter is also a popular modding playground. Sometimes, these mods harken back to even older gaming days.

With the latest Patch 10.2.5 Seeds of Renewal PTR build, more NPCs have been added to Bel'ameth, the new Night Elf capital — Including wisps of NPCs who contributed for the growth of the new World Tree! These NPCs can be found in the capital Bel'ameth as well as other spots around Amirdrassil. We've compiled known locations and where they were in life. Due to the nature of the instability of this week's PTR build, this post may be incomplete.

The latest benchmarks of Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 155H & Core Ultra 5 125H "Meteor Lake" CPUs have been leaked and they don't seem to look that good against AMD's existing Ryzen 7040 laptop APU lineup.

Intel's next-gen Sierra Forest Xeon CPU featuring a mighty 144 E-cores has been leaked within the Geekbench database.

Intel has revealed the truth about AMD's latest Ryzen 7000 mobile CPU family. Some models actually use old CPU designs with Zen 2 architecture, which dates back to 2019.

A little over a week ago, an AMD patent titled Distributed Geometry was published by the US Patent Office, the patent itself was filed by AMD in April this year. The patent details a fully chiplet approach to GPUs, where the rendering workload is distributed across a collection of chips, rather than having one massive die handling all of the processing. There's no indication that we'll see this employed in a Radeon graphics card any time soon, of course, but it's the natural evolution of what we've already seen in RDNA 3.

Intel has released a new customer playbook known as "Core Truths"  that calls out AMD for using old CPU cores in its latest Ryzen CPU lineup.

Intel's 2nd Gen E-Core Only Xeon CPUs, codenamed Clearwater Forest, are expected to feature up to 288 cores with updated architecture.
