![]() ![]() What about older generations and what we have now? What about budget offers? Is there a way to play WoW on the cheap and on the go? WoW requirements By early 2021 we can have a major uplift in the performance of CPU+GPU integrated chips.Īll of that new tech will end up in new, and not so cheap products. 14nm chips are still expected to use MX350/450 Nvidia chips or suffer from poor iGPU.ĪMD is expected to release desktop APUs based on Zen 2 design as well as 5000 series mobile chips much later on (like in early 2021) based on Zen 3 design and Navi GPU architecture. This is expected to improve with the subsequent Intel releases. ![]() Current first 10nm chips do have improved iGPU (SKUs with G7 suffix), but lack clock speeds on the CPU part and don't go past 4 cores. In second half of 2020 and early 2021 we can expect subsequent mobile 10nm generations from Intel based on the much improved Xe graphics family. With the Zen 2 design in the form of mobile 4000 series chips we are seeing big improvements to power consumption as well as iGPU and CPU performance. However their battery life or general performance isn't top class. AMD did make it first steps into laptops with Ryzen 20 mobile series - those offer more performance than matching Intel iGPU, sometimes even compete with MX150/250. On the AMD side we got desktop APUs based on Zen design - Athlon 200GE, then Ryzen APUs like R3 2200G. Aside of that the full HD 600 series iGPU didn't really got that much better since Skylake so most laptops with Intel low power chips ended up using Nvidia MX150, MX250 and not MX350 dGPU. However due to production capacity shortage and/or due to problems with 10nm a lot of newer budget Intel offerings ended up with cut down iGPU and simpler CPU cores. With transition from Ivy Bridget to Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake Intel iGPU improved. AMD also had APUs but due to their low CPU performance were less popular among laptop designs. In the past years Intel was offering integrated graphics in their desktop and mobile processors. Which picks are better if you have to rely on iGPU? Integrated graphics ![]() Let see how does mobile and desktop integrated graphics perform in WoW BfA and Classic. Integrated graphics aren't the best but quite often when on a budget or on the go it's the only thing we can use. ![]()
