All of the aforementioned (and subsequent) assessments were performed on a high-discontinue rig with DDR5 6,400 RAM. Your mileage could also simply vary ought to you utilize decrease-discontinue modules, as the iGPU performance heavily relies on reminiscence bandwidth.

Equally, it is supposedly up to 4x faster than the Core i7-14700Ok’s built-in GPU.
