Ever since Intel Arc GPUs launched, driver updates have kept coming with the promise of solid performance gains. It's now time to test those claims and see if reality matches up with the hype.

I agree but is intel keeping Nvidia and AMD on their toes? It seems they are distancing themselves from Intel with new generation in terms of price and delaying the mid to low end tears not to directly compete with intel. If you ask me they are in cahoots with each other to prevent flooding the market and causing a crash in gpu prices which we all thought would happen by now. Thoughts?
Right. Because Intel's driver improvements weren't expected to improve DX12 performance.
Sorry about that - should be fixed now.
And apologies for that one too!
Intel has been claiming performance improvements for DX9, DX11, and DX12 titles, as clearly shown in the third image in the article:
Dollar normalized appears to indicate they’re factoring in the price drop, not just the performance increase. That might explain why there was minimal improvement in some of the games you tested that were included in the presentation.Sorry about that - should be fixed now.

Besides, it's not like the article specifically states that we were only looking at DX9 performance improvements -- it was an overall look, comparing the launch driver used in the first review to the latest one available, at the time of testing.
That's certainly a possibility. Taking Steve's A750 overall figures of 97 fps from the launch review and 105 fps from the recent quick run-through of the same benchmarks, factoring in both the performance increase and price drop would result in a 26% increase on Intel's chart. However, that does include CS:GO -- my estimates of what the increase would be like without that title puts the chart gain at roughly 18%. Despite the lack of scale on the chart, Intel's increase looks closer to 16-18%, which is on par with the above.
Well, its a good thing we are not getting another AMD, as intel has been far more responsive on actually fixing issues then AMD has ever been. They've already shown more dedication and that they will listen to their consumers.

Not surprised at all, but I don't believe for one moment that Intel is falsifying results. The situation is no different from that where different reviewers get rather different fps in the same games, despite using very similar hardware. It comes down to matters such as whether an in-game benchmark is being used or the actual gameplay, and in the case of the latter, exactly where and in what scenario the gameplay is being recorded can make a huge difference.
AMD doesn't want to hurt its console business by making lower-end PC gaming cost-effective. Nvidia... I suppose its executives think mindshare alone will sell its low-end cards. It may have to adjust that strategy a bit if Intel becomes more serious about price-to-performance. Since this is Intel we're talking about I'm not going to hold my breath, especially as long as it has to order from TSMC.
