Intel Lunar Lake With Battlemage iGPU Almost 2x Faster Than Arrow Lake With Alchemist+ iGPU In Early Benchmark Leak
11.01.2024 - 02:27 / 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 scored a max GPU Processing performance of 1927.62 Mpix/s. This marks an 80% increase over the Alchemist+ iGPU which is an impressive feat.
Also, something worth sharing is that the Arrow Lake CPUs are listed with a TDP rating between 65W and 125W while the Lunar Lake chip is rated at 17W in this leak. Considering that Lunar Lake CPUs are designed for thin and light laptops, the low TDP makes sense while the Arrow Lake CPUs can be early H-series SKUs for high-end gaming designs. These chips will be competing with AMD Strix Point APUs based on the Zen 5 core architecture which are also coming later this year.
The Lunar Lake iGPU featuring the Battlemage "Xe2" architecture also ends up 26% faster than the Meteor Lake iGPU featuring the Alchemist "Xe" architecture with twice as many cores and it is also ahead of the Arc A310 graphics card with a 25% lead. Considering that the Lunar Lake CPUs don't launch until the end of 2024, this gives us an early taste of just how well the Battlemage GPUs

Magic viking townbuilder Roots Of Yggdrasil is out in early access
Roots Of Yggdrasil - an inkwashed, roguelikey, card-playing, turn-based citybuilder, inspired by Norse myth - shot to the top of my wishlist after I read Katharine's preview last week. And look, here it is in Early Access. Roots isn't one of your traditional, SimCity-derived town sims in which you steadily colonise a single map (at least, until you lose patience with your glittering urban creation and press the Godzilla or Hurricane button). As per the roguelike element, it's a game about being on the run.

Pokémon-with-guns game Palworld is so popular its servers are struggling to keep up
Palworld was obviously destined for success the moment a million games journalists and Twitter users wrote “Pokémon with machine guns”. (Acceptable alternate nicknames include “Eevees with uzis” and “Abras who’ll stab-ya”.) Having finally launched into Early Access on Steam and Game Pass this week, that prophecy has rung true as the monster-catching survival game has caught (ha, ha) so many players that its servers are struggling to handle the load.
