NOVEMBER 2020 PCWorld 41was one the first that was patched and
recommended by AMD in the rollout of the
original Ryzen desktop chip.
For this showdown, we run Deus Ex at
1920x1080 with the game at its medium
preset. The Tiger Lake result is about 300
percent more performance than Intel HD, 109
percent faster than 10th-gen Ice Lake’s Iris
Plus, and about 36 percent faster than Ryzen
7 4800U.
Moving to Metro Exodus at 1920x1080
with the normal preset, we find the 11th-gen
Core i71185G7 and its Iris Xe graphics about
244 percent faster than Intel HD, about 93
percent faster than 10th-gen Ice Lake Iris Plus
and 26 percent faster than Ryzen 7 4800U.
The last game we’ll show you is Shadows
of the Tomb Raider, also set to 1920x1080
and Medium. The game is pretty tough on
the laptops—both the 10th-gen Core
i7-1065G7 and 10th-gen Core i7-10710U
failed to complete running the benchmark.
Ryzen 7 4800U did manage to close up with
the Core i7-1165G7, but it still sees the Iris Xe
about 16 percent faster in the run. Winner:
Tiger Lake.
In no game did we see the 11th-gen Tiger
Lake and Xe chip lose. We also tried Red Dead
Redemption 2, where, thanks to Tiger Lake’s
immature drivers, the game crashed during
the benchmark. That probably sounds bad,
but Intel said it knows about the issue and will
soon deploy a new driver to correct it. For
what it’s worth, the Ryzen 7 4800U gave us
about 8.5 fps in RDR2, while to my eye, the
benchmark run on Xe looked far smoother—
we’d guess in the mid- to high teens in
performance.
