That’s wall power with completely different systems/screens. All the SoCs were set to a 28W power limit.

Here's an additional problem, Computerbase has fewer games, but where they overlap (CP2077 and BG3) they are very different. JT shows the AMD signficantly faster, computer base shows them in a tie:

JT typically uses in game runs instead of the built in benchmarks.

Edit: computer base also tested the 288v versus JT with the 258v, both at a slightly higher wattage.

Memory consumption is missing on the other devices though. Notebookcheck tested 10 games at 28W and sees the 258V a few percent in front. So maybe it's just the game selection or there is a power difference we are not aware of.

Memory consumption shouldn’t be more than a couple of watts, but yeah, that’s part of it. I like JT’s reviews because he tries to stay away from canned benchmarks and he tests the widest amount of games for laptops that I’ve been able to find.

Unfortunately not much data from him to check out all is fine. We don't even know the driver version he was using. Why not using an ingame overlay for 2-4 games where we could see the power draw from CPU/GPU/package. Or a hwinfo screen.

Okay, I'll debate it. This forum is mostly enthusiasts, how many bought ARC? Of the ones that did, how many bought the A770? Did you ever put skin in the game and buy ARC? There is no card brand that was going to change the performance or driver maturation issues. Most only wanted the media capabilities found on the A310 and A380, as the gaming performance is too low for their needs.

Sales have flatlined due to a combination of the Osborne effect and bottom tier performance in most of the latest game releases. A bit of, anyone that wanted one, already bought one, is probably in the mix too.
Nope I would never buy beta products. In fact as an avid MacBook user I never brought the M1 MacBook because I considered them as a beta product in 2020. I won’t buy something until it’s proven.

There’s a reason why I went with my AMD + Nvidia setup and its because of performance, stability and efficiency. Intel needs to prove themselves in regards to this on desktop both with GPUs and CPUs. I don’t buy into the crap of supporting the underdog, these corporations have the support of the US government anyway.

He used the latest drivers at the time of publishing, except for 1 game which had a bug and he used the prior version.

Few, if any, of the actual reviewers show screen captures with HWinfo, they create charts and present the results.

Latest what? Did he even say that? In some months nobody knew what was latest. Seems difficult to tell the most important things, not just for this test.

Not sure about this test without more data. Did you see the timespy GPU score of 3874 in this test from HX 370? Isn't this too high for 28W? This score is oddly high when compared to other 28W tests. Just to give other examples two links from other tests. How is it getting 3874 GPU points at 28W on 890M? Looks more like 70W. Who knows maybe it stayed at 28W in CPU only benchmarks and with CPU+GPU combined for some reason this limit didn't lock in. There is no data to check as I said.

He's running Timespy at 1920x1080, which is lower than the default resolution (1440p), so the graphics scores will be higher than what other outlets show (obviously unless they too lowered the resolution).

Lunar Lake score too low in this case no?

Maybe? It seems to be roughly the same score as default res. at ~30 W, but without additional tests, it's hard to say whether it's a bad test run on Time Spy or there's something going on with LNL and res. scaling in Time Spy. I'm going off of memory, but I think MTL had an issue like this when it first launched and it required a driver update to fix.

They lowered the default resolution on AMD but didn't on Intel? Makes no sense. Or they didn't lower it on Intel but did on AMD but this doesn't make sense either. 4100 points on Lunar Lake is a default run, that's for sure. Why would they lower the default rendering resolution in the first place, for what reason? Simply use default settings which makes it easy for a comparison and to check if a device works as expected. This is the point of 3dmark. I really would like to see benchmarks with the power consumption and clock speeds in it. Also more infos about bios and driver which might be useful for later if something improves. Why not give basic infos like this.

Both were run at 1920x1080 according to the chart. I’m guessing this was done because IGPs aren’t powerful enough for higher res gaming and so TS was run at 1080p to be consistent with the gaming benchmarks.

Detailed test setup tables seem to have gone away in the world of YouTube reviews.

That's the bit I find a bit strange.
Only looked at CB and PCGH (since those automatic recalculating charts are so handy), and in both the synthetics were way ahead of 890M but the gaming performance was mostly within 10%.

Didn't look that hard but had assumed that Intel graphics are still Intel graphics: far far better in synthetics than real life. Something that goes back generations at this stage.
You must also consider how good the benchmarks themselves are. It's still Time Spy.

Solar Bay for example only runs the benchmark for 1 min. The Snapdragon chips also fare extremely well against AMD chips in both Solar Bay and Steel Nomad, while it falls seriously behind in Time Spy, a gap roughly similar to them in the games tested.

Why does AMD do so poor in Steel Nomad and Solar Bay? Maybe they need optimization here? Lunarlake can do well both in benches that ARM GPUs do well in while doing well in benches that PC chips do well, while performing well in gaming too.

Why does Meteorlake iGPU do bad in games while doing well in Time Spy? The gap between the two in TS is 14% while in games it's 40-45%. That's because it's using the Alchemist architecture, which requires high workload and utilization to fully shine. The frame rates it gets in Time Spy is not playable. Games are tested at a far higher frame rate than Meteorlake runs Time Spy, thus it falls behind. Battlemage solves lot of the utilization issues.

Also different outlets with different systems are showing different results as well.

Here's another one: https://hothardware.com/reviews/dell-xps-13-9350-core-ultra-200v-review?page=2

It's beating Strix by 30% in Gears.

Don't forget that this is mostly Nvidia's strong arming tactics that prevented more AIBs from getting onboard the ARC bandwagon.

Intel seriously needs to launch a lawsuit against them.
Yeah Intel is bigger threat to Nvidia than AMD if they get their ACT together they have competent SW teams that made drivers work AMD has advantage of being in console + years into this
At least Arc has better media stack which is why A380 is selling nicely
Open Vino and their rendering libraries are very Nice i bet Nvidia wants to kill Arc before it becomes a threat

The lack of news/leaks tells me we won't see BMG dGPU this year. We usually have a rough timeline like at least 2 months before. Even the benchmark leaks are slim. Only one in the last weeks actually and Intel says nothing about BMG lately. They just confirmed from a few month ago it will come and nothing more. It would be surprising if it comes out of nowhere in November or December, I guess sometime in Q1 next year is more realistic at this point. It takes too long for Intel, this is a big problem. And that's just for the G21, means G31 will be out when Xe3 iGPU in Panther Lake is around the corner.

I think it's possible G21 will release this year, but offering little higher performance than A770 is nothing to be proud about in late 2024, and they won't make lot of money either because price will still be bottom bin. Yes it will improve but going up in the performance stack is what really makes the difference.

As long as it is not hit or miss like A770 🤣

That IMO is the most important fix. I.E. that performance be balanced with B series. The box of chocolates experience is great for us adventurous types, but it won't win significant market share.

Intel needs a far far more impressive product to win market share. People do not equate graphics with Intel.

They need to launch this before RTX 5000 series because most will wait for the 5070 or 5060 Ti after the 5090/80 launches around CES. It doesn’t help that the die is large as it increases costs
