The Intel Core i9-12900KS Review: The Best of Intel's Alder Lake, and the Hottest

Gaming Performance: iGPU

All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests here were run using integrated graphics, with a variation of 720p resolutions and at minimum settings.

We are using DDR5 memory for Alder Lake at the following settings:

• DDR5-4800(B) CL40

All of AMD's Ryzen APUs were tested with DDR4 memory at the relevant JEDEC specifications of each chip.

Final Fantasy 14

World of Tanks

Borderlands 3

Far Cry 5

Gears Tactics

Grand Theft Auto V

Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)

Looking at the performance between Intel's UHD 770 integrated graphics and AMD's Ryzen APUs, it's clear that the APUs perform much better in all of the games that require more intensive graphics. It's worth mentioning that Intel hasn't put as much investment into its die space for the iGPU to be as effective, and Intel is just hitting the bare minimum here for games at lower resolutions.
