Intel Tiger Lake Gen12 Xe iGPU against AMD Renoir Vega 8 in 3DMark Night Raid

Intel's Tiger Lake Laptops are up and coming, on AMDs side Renoir is in close vicinity. Both 'APUs' have of course an integrated GPU, for Renoir which is Vega based on 8CUs (Ryzen 4000U), and Intel with the new Xe architecture (Gen12) GPU. Some benchmark scores have popped up on the web.

And since the benchmarks are available for both, we can compare a little. The benchmark in question is 3DMark Night Raid. PC enthusiast TUM_APISAK has spotted these scores btw, and we can compare the Core i7-1165G7 "Tiger Lake-U" processor (15 W), against AMD Ryzen 7 4800U (15 W), and the mainstream-segment Ryzen 7 4800HS (35 W), in 3DMark "Night Raid." 3DMark Night Raid is not that commonly used but is a test that shows integrated GPU performance based on the DirectX 12 API.

Scores:

4800U scores - 64.63 in GT1 / 89.41 FPS in GT2
i7-1165G7 Gen12 Xe iGPU - 27.79 FPS in GT1 / 32.05 FPS in GT2

Of course, one test doesn't say much about the final performance especially with the state of early drivers in mind, but that difference is significant alright. You also need to keep in mind that the 4800U has 8 cores opposed to the four core intel i7-1165G7 listed.

The CPU score would be quite interesting if real. 4 vs 8 cores, and not that much behind. Another if is how close to reality the power consumption ratings are.

The boost clocks are quite different - Intel ~4.7GHz, AMD ~4.3GHz, which is understandable due to the difference in number of cores. But I still think it is most probably the main cause of the "smaller than expected" gap, also taking into account different boost behavior between Intel and AMD. But as always, no way to know for sure until we get proper benchmarks.

On the graphics side, even though we don't see the Graphics score, I think the FPS values speak for themselves.
