That means that even though the company has worked its way up to it 8th-generation Kaby Lake processors, the corresponding integrated GPUs are rocking model numbers in the 600s (example: Intel HD Graphics 630) rather than 700. Unlike their CPUs, Intel GPUs don't follow the serial-number-naming convention. And if you see an X at the end, it means that you've got the faster version of the original GPU. The last number in the series represents the revision number. The next digit corresponds to the performance tier with the higher numbers representing higher performance levels. The number directly after represents the generation (the higher the number, the newer the generation). However, for the 400 series, the current generation, AMD has ditched the M designation and labeled every chip in the lineup RX regardless of performance capability. The 'M' placed before the second batch of numbers represents mobility and designates that the chip is for mobile devices, such as laptops and tablets. R5 and R3 refer to the company's entry-level chips. For instance, the R9 suffix represents AMD's high-performance line, while R7 is more midtier. Though, thanks to Alder Lake's hybrid design the way the performance and efficient cores line up means you're getting a combination of either six or four performance cores, and either eight or four efficient cores.AMD GPUs typically carry the Radeon moniker followed by a prefix, which designates the chip's performance. Intel has announced it's full Core i9, i7, and i5 H-series lineup, which offers mobile chips from 14 cores down to eight cores. What else I care about is availability, and Intel is making bold claims in those terms as well, promising that the 12th Gen H-series chips will mark 'Intel's fastest H-series ramp.' And with more than 100 designs, that presumably means there will be a host of machines ready to roll out very soon, and not just the high-end ones.

There's also some creator/productivity numbers, too, but I care less about those sorts of things than pure gaming frame rates. It's only really AC: Valhalla and Civ 6: Gathering Storm which have things close between the two laptop processors in gaming terms, the rest your looking at a rough 20% performance delta.

In the benchmark graph Intel has shown off, the new setup is considerably quicker across the board compared to the AMD-powered machine-both with 165W max graphics power GPUs.
