Intel demos Tiger Lake mobile chip running Battlefield V at 30 fps

[midian182]

Something to look forward to: The second half of 2020 is expected to see the launch of Intel’s 10nm Tiger Lake mobile CPU, which features integrated Xe graphics. To give us an idea of what it’s capable of, the company has shown off a thin-and-light laptop powered by the chip running Battlefield V, and it’s pretty impressive.

Intel’s Chief Performance Strategist, Ryan Shrout, tweeted the video, in which we see a short clip of the FPS running on an unreleased Tiger Lake-powered laptop without a dedicated graphics card.

Shrout is running the single-player element of Battlefield V with the resolution set at 1080p and graphics quality settings at high (DX11). The game runs at around 30 fps or slightly higher for the entire video -- an impressive feat for an integrated GPU. Shrout also said the demonstration was performed with early drivers and software, so we could see more improvements in the final product. It’s also a prototype laptop, meaning we can expect improvements and tuning before launch.

Perks of the job! Took a prototype Tiger Lake system for a spin on Battlefield V to stretch its legs. Impressive thin and light gaming perf with Xe graphics! Early drivers/sw, but it’s the first time I’ve seen this game run like this on integrated gfx. More later this year! pic.twitter.com/f1Qlz2jMyB

As noted by PC Gamer, however, the 'GPU memory restriction' feature is clearly enabled in the game's menu, so there’s a chance it was dynamically scaling the quality settings because of the GPU memory allocation.

There’s no mention of which variant of Tiger Lake CPU is used, and the laptop’s specifications aren’t revealed, either. Seeing as Intel is showing off its abilities, this is likely to be the top chip that’s rumored to come with 96 execution units (EUs).

According to AdoredTV editor Matthew Connatser, the Ryzen 9 4900HS with Vega 8 integrated graphics averages around 25 fps on Battlefield V with the same settings, which would make the Intel alternative around 20 percent faster, and that’s before the final drivers and optimizations are added.

Earlier this week, we reported that Intel will debut malware-fighting technology in Tiger Lake mobile CPUs, which offer both PCIe 4.0 and USB 4.0 support.

Please don't use AdoredTV as a source, not even for performance benchmarks. Not trustworthy.

Vega 8 in the older APUs (3550H, 1200MHz) already managed about 20-25FPS at that res and settings.

The new version of Vega 8 (1750MHz, faster CPU, faster memory support) in the 4900HS is only going to be significantly faster on such a test.

I'm happy that Intel's iGPU is a good step over what they have now, wait for direct comparisons though.

Holy cow, that's some good news!

 

[trparky]

Thirty FPS isn't exactly something I'd be praising here. Wake me up when it's ninety FPS.

 

[Jerry in WA]

This is great news for people like myself who wish for more power but are never willing to pay for it in mobile form. I usually just buy a good, used laptop every couple of years. Maybe in a few years, it'll be a light gamer.

 

[GeforcerFX]

Thirty FPS isn't exactly something I'd be praising here. Wake me up when it's ninety FPS.

it's a integrated gpu with total chip wattage ofr the cpu and gpu at around 35-45 watts playing a very demanding FPS game at similar framerates to a 140 watt console. When you take into account the devices power limitations it's worthy of some attention with the performance it's throwing out there.

How because you don't like what he has to say...lol..the dude knows more about micro architecture than almost all journalists save anandtech.

 

[Rayneofpayne]

I mean it's good news to an extent, but like always it depends on what they would charge for it, Ultrabooks are notoriously overpriced for instance why would I pay for a 1200$ substandard notebook when something like the Asus G14 exists. For 1400$.

AdoredTV is garbage sensationalist editorial 'journalism', propagating provably untrue rumors and fake leaks as legit tech news and 'advice'. Just for clicks.

Not worth anyone's time unless it's just for a laugh, and absolutely not to be trusted as far as you can throw the internet.

Least of all as a reliable source for benchmarks.

Tbf Jim is usually in the ball park with what's suggested. Although he does say when things are speculation and not to take his word for it. I really enjoy his videos. If you don't that's fine but some of the content is very educational and definitely gives an insight to how the semiconductor world works.

Unfortunately after endless swings and misses such a reputation cannot be easily shaken off. Everyone is welcome to that content but I prefer for it to not be used as a source on this site, which is a cut above in standards and professionalism. Not to mention community, thankfully.

And yet we are here discussing something Ryan Shrout presented....the irony is strong on that one.

Considering you have video evidence of it presented, it's passable for me. AdoredTV is the proverbial broken clock.

As I said however, waiting for direct comparisons is the way to go.

We‘ve had that before from Intel. Too bad it was VLC....and Ryan Shrout....would not believe him if he told me what time it was.

This video shows proof that Intel faked their CES 2012 ultrabook gaming demo: Mooley Eden said someone was driving a F1 car game backstage while in fact

But that said, maybe it is legit, but we don‘t know the power use or if there were any driver ‘tweaks‘ to get better results.

If you don't automatically take internal promo videos from Intel or any other company with a grain of salt then you aren't yet a veteran lurker of tech news sites I would say.

Just make sure you bring a dump truck load for AdoredTV.

 

[Aryassen]

If this was serious, the specs would have been all over the news, bragging about what a feat it has achieved by which hardware. This type of "blurry hype" is highly suspicius to me. All we know is that "something" was running BFV at "some settings" (can't know for sure if dynamic scaling was involved). Overall, still nothing to sniff at, but in the end, nothing to get all that excited about either (especially without specs).
In its current form, this piece of news feels more like a desperate attempt to grab some attention...in my opinion, they need to try harder.

My observation is that Matthew is a bit of a AMD fan, why would he lower Vega 8 scores?

 

[BoboOOZ]

I'd really like Tiger Lake to beat the new Vega 8, so that AMD releases a mobile APU with stronger graphics.
Rumors are it's coming anyway, but decent competition would ensure that.

There's really no reason for graphic cards like the mx250 to exist, APU's can do better and more efficient than that.

I want to see that 3550H does 25FPS with the same setting. Link to video.

Yeah, AMD is planning APU with Zen 2 + RDNA2

I have seen the game myself on a 3500U but I can't say I have personally tested these exact settings.

Upon browsing for you now Notebookcheck came away with a 20FPS average on the high preset from an Asus FX705DY using the 3550H. When it was reviewed and tested with the dedicated GPU it ran in single channel memory mode only.

It does not specify if they upgraded it to dual channel for the Vega 8 iGPU test. Chances are it wasn't which would impact performance significantly. Without knowing then I can't say whether that's as good as it gets.

To get a comparably perfect test you would have to set it up yourself.

Do you own intel shares or something? Lol
I do always take Adored TV stuff with a grain of salt but like I said a lot of the content that isn't based on speculation and actual facts and history of the semiconductor industry is quite interesting and definitely easier to digest in video form.

Do you have connections to AdoredTV? What reason do you have to reply to that post when it wasn't at you in particular? Curious. If anything I was saying AMD's figures quoted were lower than I am accustomed too, not that Intel were trustworthy. There's no evidence to accuse me of having vested interests based on this discussion.

At this point it seems to me you're more upset that I don't trust AdoredTV than anything else. Come to peace with the opinion, I'm not telling you that you can't have a different one.

Yes, exactly this. It was lame of AMD to back off from Vega 11 to Vega 8 in the following Gen to ensure only a tiny increase in graphics performance. If Tiger Lake can slap AMD back to sense so they release a 12-unit Navi 2 next Gen then everyone wins.

I started PC gaming on Intel Iris iGPUs (still do on a 7 year old laptop on occasion) so I've been following this quite a while and this two steps forward, one step back BS needs to stop.
