Dell XPS 13 laptops with the latest Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs are now on sale in India. The XPS 13 was refreshed with the latest processors back in September along with Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 but was not available in the Indian market up util now. However, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is yet to be available here. The Dell XPS 13 features a taller 16:10 aspect ratio display with extremely thin bezels all around. It comes in two colour variants that offer different textures for the palm rest.
Preliminary performance tests suggest that Intel’s first discrete graphics processor for laptops, the Iris Xe Max, provides only a modest improvement over the performance of the graphics silicon that is already built into the chip giant’s latest Tiger Lake CPUs.
We tested a handful of popular games, including Counter Strike: Global Offensive, on an Xe Max-equipped Dell Inspiron 15 7000 2-in-1 laptop, and found slightly worse performance than gamers can expect from an equivalent laptop that uses the Iris Xe silicon that is built into Intel’s higher-end 11th Generation Core CPUs.
For casual gamers, these results suggest that the new Iris Xe Max GPU isn’t a huge leap forward in gaming-graphics processing for thin-and-light laptops. That contrasts with the remarkable achievements of the integrated Iris Xe graphics, which have shown some real gains that, in some cases, make it possible to run graphics-intensive titles on laptops that aren’t otherwise designed for gaming.
