In addition, there is a new architecture, both processor and graphics.

And already now we have a possibility to look at the first tests, and not some incomprehensible leaks of doubtful reliability, and normal tests of resource AnandTech. However, it cannot be called a full-fledged testing, but still it is better than nothing.

So, omitting specific synthetic tests and the like, let's focus on the most important things.

As you can see, Geekbench's new architecture is performing well, surpassing Intel's current market position by far. The increase in single-threaded mode with equal TDP is 15-20%!

If you look at the real problems, the situation is completely different and there is no increase. However, this is just one application, so you can't judge by it as a whole. But it is worth considering as an alarming call. Of course, it is necessary to take into account the huge difference in frequencies, but for the end user the performance as a whole and productivity in recalculation on cost, instead of productivity taking into account frequency matters.

And here with GPU at new processors all is perfectly without any reservations.

As you can see, the performance gain is enormous and it will be very interesting to compare the novelties with the Ryzen APU.

In conclusion, we can draw only preliminary conclusions. First of all, new Gen11 GPUs are much faster than the old ones, which will allow you to use the corresponding notebooks for games even without a discrete adapter. Of course, not for all games and at maximum settings, but still.

Secondly, CPU performance is an open question. Yes, Intel has talked about a significant increase in the number of executable instructions per cycle, but the new CPUs are much lower than the frequency. On the diagram below even Intel itself points to a slight increase.

​ 

Thus, the CPU Ice Lake, probably, will not bring a significant increase in processor performance relative to its predecessors, but will provide an increase in graphics. Also, probably, it is necessary to expect from laptops with new CPU good autonomy, but it is still necessary to check up.
