Hope this new iGP sorts out some issues with asymetric memory configs. In my experience with the iris xe 80CU version, going from 4gb soldered + 4gb DIMM to 4gb soldered + 16GB DIMM meant a non-trivial loss of performance. It seems the flex memory (8GB dual channel, 12GB single channel) config doesnt play well with how the GPU uses the memory channels.

Its a shame because its a pretty capable iGP but it is very prone to OEMs handicapping it with asinine soldered RAM configs that inhibit it from drawing all its potential.
