Chipzilla is having a go at convincing the world that its 'Ice Lake' integrated graphics are better than AMD’s current Ryzen 7 graphics.

Ryan Shrout, a former hack and now the chief performance strategist for Intel, said that Chipzilla doesn’t make the claim lightly. “I don’t think we can overstate how important this is for us, to make this claim and this statement about the one area that people railed on us for in the mobile space.”

While Intel supplies the largest number of integrated graphics chipsets in the PC space, it does so on the strength of its CPU performance.

AMD has used its Radeon "Vega" GPUs to attract buyers seeking a more powerful integrated graphics solution. But what Intel is trying to do now, with its Xe discrete graphics on the horizon, is let its GPUs stand on their own merits.

So obviously the proof is in the benchmarks and Intel has been using the 3DMark Sky Diver test to Fortnite to Overwatch, Intel claims performance that’s three to 15 percent faster than the Ryzen 7. Intel’s argument is based on a comparison of a U-series Ice Lake part at 25 watts, versus a Ryzen 7 3700U, also at 25 watts.

However, PC World points out the comparisons don’t uniformly favour Intel. In the 3DMark Night Raid test, for example, AMD tops Intel’s Ice Lake by about six percent. The Ryzen 7 3700W is also a 15-watt part, and Intel is running it at 25 watts. The comparisons are generally made on “Low” settings, as opposed to the “High” settings gamers prefer.
