Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

They’re planning to enter the handheld space with meteor lake. Gen to gen improvements with focus on igpu keep them relevant. Can’t fall behind in any space.
ROG Ally is a Z1 extreme AMD apu. Intel is making a meteor lake APU.

Ooh, very interesting, it would be cool to see Intel in the handheld space.
Though what you posted is about Meteor Lake (which is mobile only, not desktop). I specifically wondered about why they would include it in Arrow Lake (Desktop-) chips. Who would ever care about iGPU performance for high-end desktop CPUs?
Probably to compete with AMD's desktop APUs. The desktop APU space does rather well in the enterprise/education sector for mass deployment in office/IT rooms where a full on workstation isn't required.
This was back when AMD didn't have iGPUs at all. Every intel non f sku is what AMD would have called an APU.
Yea see the the article I linked says that meteor lake is lacking in XMX and may be lacking XESS as a result, so I’m assuming that they just keep pouring R&D money at igpu sector and implementing the new builds so they can stay competitive.
Nobody is using it but they are using at the desktop level, but they are furthering the platform to be used in the handheld sector.
Also yea, commercial applications of APU’s. No need to for a discrete gpu to have a manageable workstation.
Arrow Lake will also have mobile SoC. Lunar Lake will only cover the low power mobile segment. Arrow Lake will cover everything else.
Furthermore, iGPU and CPU tiles are separated now, so they can replace the iGPU tile or take it out entirely if they want. My guess is Desktop SoC will have a gimped iGPU version.
You are right, I forgot about mobile ARL.
Article is old btw. Meteor Lake iGPU does support XeSS. Intel posted a demonstration on Youtube.
WOW! So excited!
Handhelds are a microscopic fraction of the laptop market. Even if only a small portion of the laptop market cares about iGPU performance, that's still far more impactful than anything with handhelds. This is for laptops first and foremost.
