Intel Haswell GT3e IGP demoed

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Subjective framerates looked similar to a GT650M according to Anandtech:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6600/...rformance-compared-to-nvidias-geforce-gt-650m

The settings were 1920X1080 at high with shadows at medium.

This is GT3 version which uses embedded RAM although the graphics were tested in a desktop,against a laptop with the GT650M,so I assume it is one of the desktop chips. The other versions,ie,GT1 and GT2 use system RAM. It is unclear whether the GT3 also has a version without eDRAM and whether the GT650M used was the GDDR3 or GDDR5 version as the GDDR5 is used in the Apple laptops.

Bit-tech ihas tested the HD4000 with DiRT3 at 1920X1080 using DX11:

However,the low setting was used and not the high settings like with the Anandtech test. OTH,Anandtech does not state whether DX9 or DX11 was used.

The desktop A10-5800K can hit nearly 40FPS at 1920X1080 with all settings set to high(including shadows) and no AA:

HC puts the HD4000 at around 24FPS in this case.

The A10-5800K tends to get a 3DMark11 score of around 1500 points and the A10-4600M around 1150,ie,around 30% higher.

I don't know what the impact of going from high to medium shadows is,but it does look like,the GT3e should at least match the IGP in the A10 4600M if DX11 was used in the demo or maybe exceed it.

Here is some information about the AMD Richland APU which is a refreshed version of Trinity:

Since we're talking about CES 2013, I did a little digging on AMD's presentation...(I'm curious as to what they will bring in the APU lines).

CES: AMD Unveils Kabini, Temash Chip Families; Vizio Partnership On PCs, Tabs
=> http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2013/01/07/ces-amd-launches-kabini-temash-chip-families/

AMD Press Release: AMD Unveils Innovative New APUs and SoCs that Give Consumers a More Exciting and Immersive Experience
=> http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd_unveils_new_apus.aspx


Basic gist...According to AMD Performance Labs:

* Temash (Jaguar-based APU for tablets)

Testbed:
* AMD Z-60 APU (Hondo) with Radeon HD 6250 IGP
=> 1.0Ghz, dual-core
=> 2x 2GB DDR3-1066
=> Windows 7
VS
* AMD A6-1450 (Temash) with Radeon HD 8280 IGP
=> 1.0Ghz, quad-core
=> 2GB DDR3-1066
=> Windows 7

FutureMark 3DMark Vantage P (Synthetic GPU test)
=> Z-60 (Hondo): 455
=> A6-1450 (Temash): 981

PCMark Vantage (Synthetic CPU test)
=> Z-60 (Hondo): 1914
=> A6-1450 (Temash): 3123



Kabini (Jaguar-based APU for ultrathin notebooks and SFF PCs)

Testbed:
* AMD E2-1800 APU (Brazos 2.0) with Radeon HD 7340 IGP
=> 1.7Ghz, dual-core
=> 4GB DDR3-1333
=> Windows 7 Ultimate.
VS
* AMD A6-5200 APU (Kabini) with Radeon HD 8400 IGP
=> ???Ghz, quad-core? (undisclosed!)
=> 4GB DDR3-1600
=> Windows 8 64bit.

PCMark Vantage (Synthetic CPU test)
=> E2-1800 APU (Brazos 2.0): 2807
=> A6-5200 APU (Kabini): 5271

AMD demonstrated working silicon of its first true system on chip (SoC) APUs, codenamed “Temash” and “Kabini,” which will be the industry’s first quad-core x86 SoCs. Both APUs are scheduled to ship in the first half of 2013.




Richland (Piledriver-based APU. Mobile versions compared.)

Testbed:
* AMD A10-4600M (Trinity) with Radeon HD 7660G IGP
VS
* AMD A10-5750M (Richland) with Radeon HD 8650G IGP

* AMD A8-4555M (Trinity) with Radeon HD 7600G IGP
VS
* AMD A8-5545M (Richland) with Radeon HD 8510G IGP

All configurations:
=> 4GB DDR3-1600 (Dual Channel)
=> Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

3DMark 11
=> A10-4600M (Trinity): 1150
=> A10-5750M (Richland): 1400
and
=> A8-4555M (Trinity): 780
=> A8-5545M (Richland): 1100

PCMark 7 Overall benchmark
=> A10-4600M (Trinity): 1965
=> A10-5750M (Richland): 2175
and
=> A8-4555M (Trinity): 1650
=> A8-5545M (Richland): 1850



Speaking of Kaveri APU...

The follow-on to "Richland" will be the 28nm APU codenamed "Kaveri" with revolutionary heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) features which is expected to begin shipping to customers in the second half of 2013.


We'll probably see something in either late-2013 or early-2014 ???



The AMD CES 2013 presentation slides can be found here...

Most of it is fluff. Nothing much to talk about.

* Both Jaguar-based Kabini and Temash APUs will be officially marketed as A4 and A6 APUs. They are made on the 28nm process.

* The Piledriver-based Richland (aka: Trinity 2.0) APU will be officially marketed as A8 and A10 APUs. They are made on the existing 32nm process.



Overall?
* Richland is incrementally faster than Trinity in CPU performance. The biggest performance improvement is the GPU-based IGP.
* The Jaguar-based Temash and Kabini are a major improvement over existing Hondo and Brazos 2.0 respectively (in both CPU and IGP performance).
* AMD is getting rid of Z-series and E-series marketing designations. It'll all be A-series by the end of 2013.

The IGP appears to be 22% faster with Richland in the mobile parts when compared to Trinity.

The 3DMarkVantage score for the top mobile Richland SKU is just under 10% lower than a desktop A10-5800K.

Looks good for IPGs/APUs then =)
