Since the launch of Broadwell, Intel's first series of 14nm CPUs back in 2014, Intel has been using the same basic GPU design for all 14nm products, right through to current 10th-gen Comet Lake products. Why is this, and why so slow for so long? This stems from the hardware they've been using for the past five years. those sorts of games should be playable on modern integrated graphics in an ideal world.īut as we know, for years Intel's integrated GPUs haven't been powerful enough to run popular titles like Fortnite or even CS:Go at reasonable but the lowest settings. Probably not Red Dead Redemption 2 kind of gameplay, but more your Fortnites and Overwatches. Most ultraportables that use 15 or 25 watt CPUs aren't exactly designed for gaming or have gaming in mind - that's what your bigger 15-inch devices are for - but buyers of ultraportables still might be interested in a bit of casual gaming. Today, of course, we plan to switch gears to take a look at gaming performance. But as far as a single-chip solution goes, Ice Lake is quite decent. Third, it doesn't greatly improve what's been available in ultraportable form factors because you can also find discrete GPUs in 13-inch thin and light systems. While we haven't covered gaming yet, the new Gen11 GPU design has brought significant gains to GPU-limited and compute-heavy productivity apps, and makes Ice Lake a great choice for some workloads like Adobe Premiere. Second, the Core i7-1065G7 does bring higher single-threaded performance, and crucially for today's review, improved GPU performance. From both a performance and efficiency standpoint, in this regard 10nm is a bit of a disappointment. First, a few takeaways from our initial review: as far as multi-threaded applications go, Ice Lake on 10nm isn't offering an upgrade over existing quad-core 14nm Skylake derivates like Comet Lake or Whiskey Lake. Before Mass Effect, there was this game.After exploring the capabilities of the new Ice Lake Core i7-1065G7 on the productivity side, we're coming back to test the CPU for ultrabook gaming using the G11 Iris Plus integrated graphics. Starts out slow due to your un-upgraded ship, but I promise it's worth sticking to. Star Control 2 (Its 1992, but a personal favorite of mine. The Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay (first release, not the one with Dark Athena) Deus Ex (original),Įdit: Other games you may consider (note: I have not tried these in Windows 7) Beyond Good & Evil The following games are fairly well reviewed and all run on my laptop with an Intel HD3000. I made this post a short while ago but realize it might be more relevant here
