Intel Skylake GT4e GPU 50 percent faster compared to Broadwell GT3e

Intels embedded integrated graphics for upcoming Skylake processors will gain quite a bit in performance compared to Broadwell, this however is the top model GT4e we are talking about that should be 50% faster.

This info is derived from a platform slide that posted in the Anandtech forums. Intel bases its claim on a 3DMark score comparing a Skylake-chip with a 45W TDP versus a 47W-Broadwell-cpu.

The 50% performance claim is based on 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 11 btw. Judging from earlier rumors, the GT4e will be used in Skylake H series quad-cores processors for laptops only (Iris Pro). This would be the 9th iteration of the GPU and it'll get 72 EUs and 128MB edram.

This year we should see the first Skylake series processors for mobile and desktop, Skylake-H series however might still be out by a year, as the rumors indicate a 2016 launch.

This should put some pressure on nVidia and AMD so as to put more effort on making less crappy low-end GPUs.

Not really since AMD APUs are not pushing low end in big way.
Reason why you see "50% improvement" here is way they do comparison.
If they run Firestrike and show you score + Screenshots for IQ comparison, you would likely be unimpressed.

Even while intel does leap improvements in iGPUs year to year. Next time it may be serious stuff.

Imagine if we had 3 makers of discrete GPU`s and CPU`s ?

Instead of 2.5 for GPU`s and 1.5 for CPU`s.

Oh I'd be so happy. Or even more than 3, I wouldn't mind. Imagine the amount of competition and pressure for spewing out the most advanced chips possible.

I know it would be better, but hasn't the past shown us that the market does not really feed more than two or three of each? Or Matrox and 3dfx would still be around for dGPUs in the consumer / gamer segment...
