32.0.101.6557=Alchemist
32.0.101.6262= Battlemage
No full Battlemage driver update since B580 launch, media driver not yet updated. Alchemist uses a newer media driver for this reason, it's on a much newer main branch. Seems like Intel is struggling on the driver side with three different main...
Driver support is poor for Battlemage since launch. The gap is widening. I'm also surprised there is no official XeSS 2 release on github yet. Intel stays silent about this.
ACM= 6458
BMG= 6257
Did you see the power comparisons from video playback workloads between Lunar Lake and Meteor Lake? It was like 5-6W on LNL versus 10+ watts on Meteor Lake. This is coming from the much stronger LPE core cluster integrated into the compute tile. They can shut down the ringbus cores for many more...
Xe3 is going from 4 to 6 cores for one slice. PTL-H(P) has two 6 core slices for overall 12 cores. This is what Raichu told and we can see this on github as well.
Yes source for your 60% claim and power level. Same functionality doesn't tell much. Mobile graphics is power limited. Performance can vary a lot on a graphics with same functionality depending on different things like process node, CPU efficiency, bandwidth, power budget.
He removed his postings. It could mean he found out it was wrong or he didn't like the attention he got from these postings. We have to wait for real infos. I think B770 on N4 in H2 2025 could be quite good and worth a try. Maybe they realized it is better than expected even against the new gen...
You are incorrect Kabylake had HT depending on the SKU. i5 SKUs didn't for segmentation reasons, it has nothing to do with security. Check out i7-7700k.
My Kabylake CPU didn't support rebar and I wouldn't call a bios hack supported which is not guaranteed it works. PCIe 3.0 is suboptimal anyways, it can cost 10% depending on the game because B580 only has 8x lanes.
Lack of Development time and budget stops them. Two generations within 2.5 years is not realistic. If it's Xe4 it's called Druid and not Celestial. Intel favours iGPUs whereas AMD usually dGPUs.
Too early for Xe4. Nova Lake and Wildcat Lake are on Xe3 and according to Exist50 Razor Lake as well. Alchemist dGPU to Battlemage dGPU was a 2.5 years cadence (A380 launched on June 14th, 2022), mobile versions even earlier. Celestial to Druid sounds like a bigger redesign.
