Not quite, Iris Xe is a GPU architecture and is quite distinct from earlier Intel HD and UHD graphics, which was still present in some Intel 11-12th gen mobile CPUs. They basically created a new architecture, and that’s what powers current Intel Arc GPUs.
I’m not sure about the branding of the devices, but the iGPU performance is hugely dependent on the memory boundwidth, so the same iGPU would perform worse on a single channel than dual channel and the best performance should be with soldered LPDDR*x memory.




Yea, but we mostly call it a kombi or an estate car.
