Intel integrated graphics seem to be getting a significant upgrade with the next generation. One known leaker has gone online to give insight into just how big of a boost they’ll be getting.
In a post on social media, known hardware leaker OneRaichu spoke about the in-development Intel Nova Lake CPUs and what it entails from the integrated graphics perspective.
They say that the new architecture, Xe3P, which is expected to launch with the new CPU lineup in 2027, will see a performance uptick of “20-25%” with “even more [performance] uplift for the Xe3P-12C.”
Currently, Intel is preparing to launch its Panther Lake Core Ultra 300 series processors. Those will feature the Xe3 architecture that is also expected to be the main architecture behind the Intel Celestial graphics card line up. Those aren’t expected to be seen, however, until late 2026.
As with all rumors and leaks, until it’s made official or confirmed by Insider Gaming, take the information with a grain of salt. Even from leakers that have been reliable in the past.
