Impressive AMD Vega Benchmarks On Intel’s i7-8705G CPU Are Close To Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050

Benchmarks of new Intel Core i7-8705G CPU integrated with AMD Vega graphics on a dell XPS 15 at CES 2018 reveals the power of the new on-board AMD Vega is very close to Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050.

Intel’s new Kaby Lake-G processors early benchmarks from the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1, which is powered by Intel’s Core i7-8705G, peg gaming performance around that of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050. The benchmark comes from Hot Hardware. The site was able to run a few quick runs of the Rise of the Tomb Raider built-in benchmark and performance is very impressive for an integrated graphic. It  was running at High settings at FHD (1920×1080), the benchmark scored about 35 frames per second that is very good for on-board graphics. Nvidia’s own GeForce GTX 1050 that scores about 38 fps, it’s incredible for AMD because the AMD Vega M GPU in the machine is an on-chip graphics solution, not a separate card with cooling and separate power and PCIe port. Comparatively, Intel’s own HD Graphics 620 only hits about 6.25 frames per second.

Benchmark Frames per second: Rise of the Tomb Raider (High, 1920×1080): GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q 67.5, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 45.8, Geforce GTX 1050 38.4, Core i7-8705G (AMD Vega M) 34.9, GeForce MX150 20.6, Intel HD Graphics 620 6.25.

The Intel Core i7-8xxxG is a new CPU series, fast quad-core processors for notebooks based on the Kaby Lake architecture and was announced in January 2018. similar to the Core i7-7920HQ it integrates four processor cores, 8709G that was introduced earlier by Intel would come soon with a Turbo up to 3.9 GHz, the base clock thus 3.1 GHz. (Turbo not yet officially published). The CPU is still produced in 14nm as the i7-7920HQ.
