Intel have shown signs of catching up by putting out a better iGPU than AMD's latest and greatest for laptop chips in certain games and most compute tasks. They've also put out one of the best laptop chips last month, they consume next to nothing while still having decent performance but go on I guess
Aren't the best handhelds using AMD iGPU's? The MSI Claw didn't exactly leave a great mark. The new Radeon 890m looks pretty killer for its power efficiency.
The cpus I'm talking about have released about a month ago, but until very recently AMD were the only good options for handhelds
Just checked the new release, you're right it's looking pretty good. The AMD variant is still ~11% ahead in many games but it's certainly much much closer than before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZkSoXPNBpA
This is mostly down to the drivers, and I am sure they will be much improved in the next few months, their driver is still very young and hopefully has lots of room for further improvement
Being best in one aspect of the laptop market is not going to save Intel. They are losing their grip on the server market. That's where the real money is, and once those customers go AMD, they are likely to stay there for the foreseeable future.
