Intel Arrow Lake Processor Core Graphics Revealed: Mobile Edition with Xe-LPG+

IT Home reported on February 24 that the latest news said that Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S desktop and Arrow Lake-H mobile CPU series will use different Alchemist "Xe-LPG" core graphics iGPU architectures.

Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs, which are expected to launch later this year, are the direct successors to Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake on their respective platforms.

Arrow Lake-S CPUs are primarily for desktops and will replace the 13th/14th generation Raptor Lake series on the all-new LGA 1851 platform, while Arrow Lake-H CPUs are primarily for mobile devices and will replace the Meteor Lake-H and Raptor Lake-H series.

Arrow Lake processors have upgraded CPU and GPU architectures. On the CPU side, the P-cores are powered by the new Lion Cove architecture, while the E-cores are powered by Crestmont / Skymont E / LP-E cores, while on the GPU side, the Alchemist Xe-LPG architecture will be used, but the mobile will have an advantage over the desktop.

Looking at the current lineup, Intel uses 32 EUs on the 14th Gen SKU and 96 EU on the Mobile SKU, so if Arrow Lake were to go with a similar plan, it might not be able to match the level of the AMD RNDA 3 iGPU, but it would still be a decent improvement over the previous UHD 770 iGPU.

IT Home briefly sorts out the core graphics architecture of Intel's next-generation processors:

Arrow Lake-S 台式机：沿用现在的“Xe-LPG”核显架构

Arrow Lake-H 移动 CPU：改用 Xe-LPG+ 版核显

Intel engineers recently modified the C for Metal compiler to add these tweaks, but it's unclear what improvements will be made with the Xe-LPG+ version of the GPU.

At present, it is reported that the Xe-LPG+ version of the core display has added DPAS (Dot Product Accumulate Systolic) algorithm architecture, which supports amplification and overlay matrix. There is also news that XMX hardware has been added to the GPU architecture to accelerate XeSS support.
