How good is Iris Pro with Crystalwell? It's not a high-end Nvidia GPU, but it's not slow either. Lower-end Haswell processors don't have as many GPU execution units.
Is this a new direction for the chipmaker? Let's hope so, as more and more consumer laptops are coming with Intel-only graphics.Īnd, importantly, all that native Intel silicon integration is easier on battery life than separate GPUs like Nvidia's.įinally, it is worth mentioning the cluster of 40 execution units - what Intel calls EUs - that handle the graphics tasks in Iris Pro. That large helping of extra high-speed integrated memory is new ground for Intel in consumer products. Both CPU and GPU requests are cached," according to Anandtech.Ĭrystalwell is only offered with Intel's quad-core Haswell, like the one in the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
It acts as a victim buffer to the 元 cache, meaning anything evicted from 元 cache immediately goes into the L4 cache. "Unlike previous eDRAM implementations in game consoles, Crystalwell is true 4th level cache in the memory hierarchy.
