Intel Iris Graphics Are Going to Make Nvidia MX Graphics Obsolete

Nvidia has been the king of the graphics market and no one can deny that. Over the years Nvidia has built itself as the default choice for many laptop manufacturers from mobile workstations to gaming laptops to even the thin and light notebooks. However, it looks like that is about to change with the new Intel 11th Generation CPUs and its latest Iris GPUs. Intel gave us a peek inside their new Iris GPUs and their new 11th Generation Tigerlake but nothing can ever compare to seeing the new Iris GPU and 11th Generation Tigerlake in action. So Intel decided to showcase the world what the new Tigerlake and Iris GPU are capable of. A YouTuber by the name Dave2D was sent an engineering sample by Intel. It was a laptop running on the Intel 11th Gen i7 Tigerlake processor with integrated Iris graphics.

Intel Iris and Intel TigerLake:

For years now Intel has been making incremental changes in their CPU refreshes and even then there was hardly any performance boost between each generation. This is not the case with the latest TigerLake CPUs. In the video, Dave2D showcased how much performance has been increased between the Intel 11th Generation and the 10th Generation. To say the least, the new Tigerlake by Intel is going to change the consumer market and especially the laptop market.

The Iris graphics in the video outperformed even the Nvidia MX 350 in many games in medium settings while maintaining the temperatures. Games like Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Seige ran above 60FPS at 1080p at low settings. This in itself is a game-changer. Not even the AMD Ryzen with the integrated Vega graphics were performing this good. If Intel Iris GPU combined with Intel Tigerlake CPU can make this huge of a gap between themselves and Nvidia and AMD then we might be looking at Intel dominated market again in the coming years.
