Intel and AMD have been competing with iGPUs for the past decade with mixed results, but the spotlight is back on with handhelds like Valve’s Steam Deck and ASUS’s ROG Ally showing consumer interest in gaming on the go. AMD leads with Van Gogh and Phoenix APUs in the handheld market, challenging Intel’s laptop market share. Intel responds with Meteor Lake, featuring a powerful iGPU with 128 EUs and 2.25 GHz clock speed, surpassing Raptor Lake. Meteor Lake uses a chiplet design and Scalable Fabric for accelerators, aiming to improve gaming experience but still falls short of premium gaming GPUs. Cache hierarchy optimization and memory access are crucial for achieving balance between performance and power consumption.
