  • An additive AI capability that enables inferencing and rendering on both GPUs to accelerate content-creation workloads.
  • A combination of industry-leading encodes engines in each GPU through hyper encoding that allows them time to render out videos for reviewing or sharing.

The first Deep Link-enabled applications use Intel Media SDK, Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, and Intel VTune Profiler to access the full power of the platform.  Developers will also be able to utilize Deep Link technology using Intel’s powerful cross-architecture one API toolkits.

11th Gen Intel Core mobile processors paired with Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics deliver Additive AI to provide 7 times faster AI-based creation than similar laptops configured with third-party graphics, and Hyper Encode for up to 1.78 times faster encoding than a high-end desktop graphics card.

Deep Link’s Dynamic Power Share enables all the power and thermal resources to be dedicated to the CPU when the discrete graphics are idle, resulting in up to 20% better CPU performance when a creator attempts a sustained task such as executing a final render.

Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics also deliver great thin-and-light 1080p gaming on popular games. Intel is adding to the game experience by delivering two new features: Game Sharpening and Instant Game Tuning.

Available starting today, Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics is available for Acer Swift 3x, Asus VivoBook Flip TP470, and Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2 in 1.

The Xe architecture is a fully scalable graphics architecture that will serve many markets, from integrated graphics to entry-level discrete to high-end gaming and datacenter graphics for HPC and AI workloads. In addition to mobile, Intel is working with its partners to bring Xe-LP-based discrete graphics to value desktops in the first half of 2021.
