Though, Intel isn’t doing multi-GPU in any form right now. So you won’t be able to run the equivalent of a mini SLI setup on your laptop. Unfortunately, the Deep Link feature isn’t available for PC gaming.

With Deep Link’s Dynamic Power Share feature, Intel said it can divert all power and thermal resources to the CPU when Iris Xe Max is idle, which it said can result in 20 percent better CPU performance for video encoding versus an 11th-gen Core i7 laptop with Nvidia’s GeForce MX350 discrete graphics. As of now, the following media encoding software support Deep Link, Hand Brake, OBS, XSplit, Topaz Gigapixel AI, Huya, Joyy, etc., and with Blender, Cyberlink, Fluendo, and Magix getting full support in the coming months. It basically helps with dynamic power sharing between the CPU (with the integrated Iris Xe graphics) and the discrete Iris Xe Max GPU.ĭeep Link also scales up AI deep-learning performance between Tiger Lake processors and the Xe MAX dGPU, because the chip has a DLBoost DP4a accelerator.

It is a new platform innovative feature that allows Intel to tap not only the integrated GPU and dedicated GPU together, but also the CPU itself. Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics processor is going to be featured on thin-and-light notebooks powered by 11th gen core Tiger Lake/TGL processors.ĭell, Acer, and ASUS are the initial launch partners, planning to debut the chip on their Inspiron 15 7000, Swift 3x, and VivoBook TP470 notebooks, respectively.ĭeep Link basically allows us to utilize the integrated graphics, dedicated graphics, and processor simultaneously for different workloads. Intel recently announced its homegrown Iris Xe MAX dedicated GPU, and along with it a brand new platform technology dubbed as Intel Deep Link.
