the 12th and 13th gen intel chips have P cores and E cores. P cores are like normal cores and E cores are smaller, lower power cores. Windows 11 has CPU scheduling to take advantage of the low power cores and they didnt port it to windows 10 in order to force people to upgrade to windows 11.

from what little is out there it seems like the intel arc GPUs are ok at dx12 but total dogshit at dx9. kind of a wierd way to go, but if they're cheap maybe its competitive for low end rigs

some of the most popular games in the world (ex csgo) are still dx9. mostly because dx9 runs fine on a huge variety of old GPUs.

intel will probably do driver hacks to fix it for the most popular games, but their drivers are notoriously bad.

Sounds like maybe theres something to the hardware that makes pursuing the design worthwhile, but the software is too bad for it to be viable

i bet they get dumped into prebuilt systems and new egg bundles

i think intel igpus were both never really considered for gaming so drivers didnt really matter plus they didnt have alot of the features that these new arc gpus have so they didnt need software for poo poo like the AI scaling or ray tracing or video capture or whatever features are now common in gpus.

Plus if they're doing some kind of translation like dx11 to dx12 inside their drivers maybe some games just dont translate well and thats where some of the really bad performers come from. idk.

AMD drivers were poo poo forever for both discrete and integrated GPUs. might still be poo poo idk i dont buy AMD. i imagine if their drivers work now for their dGPUs they probably work for their iGPUs.
