They mention getting an answer from Panasonic: So, after some more digging around, my suspicions started to get real after reading this post. I immediately thought that there has to be a performance issue if Intel requires using the UHD brand on systems that don’t have dual-channel. Intel Iris Xe’s Performance Drops Significantly in Single-Channel Memory Surely something happens there that makes the graphics processor unworthy of the Iris Xe brand. Now, why doesn’t Intel want the Iris Xe brand being used on systems that have it but use single-channel memory? It must be something significant going on there, no? Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual-channel) memory. I landed on Intel’s CPU specifications page, where you can click the question mark icon for more info, in the Processor Graphics row. I wasn’t satisfied with that answer, so I kept digging around. The answer from a Community Manager was that it’s just a naming thing, that we actually have Intel UHD Iris Xe. Someone noticed the same thing as me - that they found Intel UHD mentioned in BIOS, while in Windows it shows Intel Iris Xe. The first thing I found was this post on the Dell community. I was expecting to see Intel Iris Xe, as it’s shown in Windows, even though some say that Iris Xe is still a type of UHD, so it might be referred to like that in some situations. While checking BIOS when I installed Windows 11, I saw that Intel UHD was shown as my graphics processor. Intel Requires the UHD Brand in Single-Channel Memory Therefore, I bought a Dell Vostro 5502 with the following specifications: So, since I’m on a very tight budget, I was happy to make an exception with the Iris Xe. I never was a big fan of integrated graphics, even if I don’t use laptops for gaming, complex graphic design, and so on.īut, I noticed the new Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, which, apparently, can perform up to 4 times better than your ol’ UHD. Since there’s not a lot of room, and I won’t have a proper working desk, I decided to sell my old PC and crappy laptop to settle for a new, decent laptop, which takes less space. I’ve been looking to move into a rented studio apartment.
