Pretty impressive that Intel is already competing with AMD's best mobile IGP. Intel would've even been ahead if they actually brought the 192 EU Meteor Lake IGP die like they originally marketed. We never got a reason why it went from 192 EU to 128 EU, but there was that rumor that Intel was supposed to use some N3B for MTL but that clearly didnt happen.

Really excited for this competition. Hopefully AMD brings some good RDNA 3.5 designs for 2024, because Intel will probably bring out a 192 EU Battlemage on N3E die for Arrow Lake mobile late in the year.

I’m guessing the gains from tsmc 3nm were not as good as everyone hoped. We see this in the new Apple socs. Intel probably couldn’t get power draw low enough with n3b to make it work in a portable environment. The rumors so far are that this chip is 25-35w. It’s already pushing the upper limits of what is ok, at least for hand helds.
