Decent I think, as long as you don't want to use XeSS
xe driver on first gen has no hardware encoding/decoding, vulkan performance isn't up to par, no power usage exposed yet iirc
The reason you don't hear much is because they usually Just Work.
What a time to have AMD CPUs and Intel graphics.
And Steam shipping an ARM desktop alongside their x86 handheld.
Not an ARM desktop, but an ARM headheld.
I am referring to the ARM Steam Machine next to the x86 Steam Deck handheld.
And virtual ram
Intel be like:
"My products are rand(50,80) % better than AMD. Trust me bro"
Intel has been beating mid range AMD and low end Nvidia for over a year so it's worth looking at.
Yeah. If you're looking for cheap bang for the buck Arc B580 is comparable to RTX 4060 while being half the price of a 4060. People are seriously sleeping on Intel GPUs. If you're on a budget Intel GPUs are the way to go.
Aren’t the drivers kind of ass though still?
Exactly what I've heard; essentially, they work pretty well for recent games, but they suck for patient gamers.
Kinda makes the idea of using them in a handheld a non-starter for a lot of people, since older games are amazing on a lower-powered handheld PC.
Memory is extremely overclocked, and AMD hasn't announced their Zen 6 mobile cpus yet
But yes, 2/3nm apus will do amazing things for handheld gaming.
And we are still waiting for RDNA4 on AMD's APUs
