after months of waiting and speculation, Intel finally announced its 14th generation meteor lake architecture. With a host of improvements, including better power efficiency, AI at scale, and new e and p-core microarchitectures, the chipset family has some upgrades in store. however, one of the most prominent advances came from graphics power. Intel is now bringing its Arc GPU support to 14th generation Meteor Lake chips through integrated graphics. learn all about Intel arc in the 14th generation below.
Intel 14th Gen Laptop Comparison – Meteor Lake is HERE!
ever since intel arc graphics came out one of its biggest benefits was increased game frame rates. however, it was always limited to a dedicated gpu format. That changes with Meteor Lake, as the Intel Arc is now infused with integrated graphics to elevate gaming and other uses. this in turn will provide dramatically improved frame rates.
the greatly improved graphics performance has been made possible with the new XE LPG architecture found on the disaggregated architecture. lpg is a combination of the company's previous xe lp iteration along with its hpg architecture. the new architecture also meets Intel's goal of offering 2x the performance of the previous generation.
moreover, this has influenced the new XE LPG architecture and provided features never possible in the chipset. this includes support for dx 12 ultimate, vrs, hardware ray tracing, sampler feedback and more. Intel claims that "everything you've come to expect from high-end graphics is now available in Meteor Lake chips." and yes, you read that right, Intel's integrated graphics come with hardware ray tracing (more on this below) for the first time.
