… Intel's still claiming that these Arrow Lake Refresh chips will deliver 15 percent faster gaming performance as a geomean versus the original Arrow Lake, as well as up to 103 percent multithreaded performance versus "competing CPUs." Both claims aren't worth much until properly tested. …
… It will face a strong performance from its own Panther Lake productivity chips, which games quite capably from its own integrated GPUs. The gen-over-gen upgrade is also slightly muddied by the IBOT tool, which can offer substantial performance gains. …
… A year ago, the lack of integrated GPU was far more worrisome than it is now, but Intel's mobile Panther Lake CPU made up for that with a robust processor that offers the gaming power of a discrete GPU. …
… Intel isn't really worrying about AI, with an NPU capable of just 17 TOPS, though the company claims the CPU, NPU, and GPU combined reach 40 TOPS of performance. …
… I expect the T1g’s combination of a fast CPU and GPU with speedy memory and a PCIe 5.0 drive helps it achieve good results. Foundry / Matthew Smith Cinebench 2024, a heavily multi-threaded benchmark, shows the T1g with Intel Core Ultra 9 285H can deliver strong but not surprising performance. …
… The CPU is a Core Ultra i5 225 feeding/fed by two Crucial 64GB DDR5 5600MHz modules 128GB of memory total . 10Gbps, 20Gbps USB, and Thunderbolt 5/USB4 are integrated into the motherboard. Intel CPU/GPU graphics are used. …
… Both 20Gbps USB and Thunderbolt 4 are integrated to the back panel and Intel CPU/GPU graphics are used. …
