The media engine of Meteor Lake is in the SOC tile and supports up to 8k60 10-bit HDR encode and decode of MPEG2, AVC, VP9, HEVC and AV1.
The graphics unit also supports XeSS AI Super Sampling. The iGPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (probably DX 12_2 like the desktop Arc GPUs). Otherwise, the iGPU is only called ' Intel Graphics' and is also significantly slower.Īccording to Intel, performance has been doubled compared to the previous generation (probably still in Alder Lake). The Arc name may only be used if at least 16 GB RAM is used in dual channel mode. It offers 7 of the 8 Xe cores (112 Xe Vector Engines), 7 raytracing units, 7 samplers and probably also 4 pixel backends. The Intel Arc iGPU with 7 cores is an integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency).
