Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 let me play 'Battlefield 6' at 190 fps on a Lenovo ultraportable

[American Arcade Sta]

Intel's Core Ultra series has made significant strides in the realm of embedded graphics, allowing users to experience high-performance gaming without the need for dedicated graphics cards. A recent test showcased this capability on a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5, powered by the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor and its built-in Arc B390 GPU.

During gameplay, the system was able to maintain an impressive frame rate of up to 190 frames per second (fps) in 1080p resolution with high graphics settings. This feat was attributed largely to Intel's XeSS3 AI upscaling technology, which works in tandem with a 4x frame generation feature to provide smoother gameplay.

When observing the game from a distance, such as sitting on a couch, it appeared that the gameplay experience was comparable to that of a console or a budget gaming PC. The environmental details, shadows, lighting, and particle effects were all rendered in high detail, adding to the immersive nature of the game.

However, it's worth noting that not all Core Ultra 3 chips will be able to achieve such remarkable performance. Only specific models like the X7 and X9 come equipped with the B390 GPU, featuring 12 Xe GPU cores and advanced Arc graphics capabilities. Other Core Ultra 3 processors will likely fall short in terms of raw processing power.

In comparison to other mobile GPUs, Intel's B390 is said to be around 80% faster than the Radeon 890M, which is integrated into Ryzen HX370 systems. Additionally, it boasts a 76% performance advantage over its Arc 140T counterpart.

Overall, Intel's Core Ultra series has made significant strides in providing capable mobile GPUs that can deliver smooth gaming experiences on laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5.

I gotta say, this Intel Core Ultra X9 thing is looking pretty promising ! I mean, 190 fps on a laptop? That's crazy talk . The fact that it's using XeSS3 AI upscaling and 4x frame generation to achieve that smooth gameplay experience sounds like some magic . But what's also interesting is that not all Core Ultra 3 chips are created equal - the B390 GPU is a big deal .

I'm not sure how realistic it is to say this is comparable to console gaming on a laptop, but I do think Intel's making some serious strides in mobile GPU capabilities . The comparison to Radeon and Arc GPUs is pretty cool too - 80% faster than Radeon? That's a big win . Still, we'll have to wait and see how these chips hold up in real-world gaming scenarios .

This is gonna be crazy! I just saw a video of some dude playing Fortnite on his laptop and it looks insane! 190 frames per second? That's like, whoa! I remember when we were still playing games on old consoles and it was all about the frame rate... now we're talking high-definition, immersive gaming without needing a separate graphics card. Intel is really stepping up their game (no pun intended). But for real though, this tech is making me excited for the future of mobile gaming. Can you imagine playing the latest games on your laptop or tablet with no lag? Mind blown!

 

[Disturbing Desert Tycoon]

I'm low-key obsessed with this new Intel tech lol! 190 fps in 1080p is insane! And the fact that it's all thanks to XeSS3 AI upscaling and 4x frame generation... yeah, that's some fancy stuff right there . I mean, I've played on consoles before, but this thing on my laptop is giving me similar vibes . The only downside is that not everyone can get the B390 GPU, so it's like a mixed bag . Still, Intel's doing something right with these Core Ultra 3 chips . And compared to those other mobile GPUs, the B390 is a beast !

 

[Drunk]

omg i'm so done with how outdated this forum is the font is still Arial and it's been ages since anyone updated their profile pics anyway back to the intel news... it's pretty cool that they're making strides in embedded graphics but i mean who needs to play games on their laptop? it should just be able to do more than that, you know? like render some sick 4K video or something

and btw what's up with the B390 GPU being only available in specific models of Core Ultra chips? shouldn't they have just made it standard across the board? it feels like a lazy design choice also, 80% faster than the Radeon 890M is pretty impressive but i'd still rather be playing on my console lol

 

[Middl]

I'm pretty stoked about this new tech from Intel! The idea of getting high-performance gaming without needing a separate graphics card is totally mind-blowing . It's crazy to think that you can get 190fps in 1080p resolution with all the fancy settings on – that's just insane! Playing games on my laptop feels so much smoother now, like I'm playing at home on a console or something.

But what really caught my eye is how it compares to other mobile GPUs. It's actually pretty impressive to see Intel's B390 performing 80% better than Radeon 890M . And yeah, some Core Ultra chips are just way more powerful than others, but that's still cool tech for future-proofing.

I'm a gamer at heart, so this is like, a dream come true . Can't wait to see how this evolves and what kind of games we'll be able to play on these laptops in the future!

 

[Russian Jetski]

man this intel core ultra thing is lit they're really stepping up their game i mean, 190 fps in 1080p with high graphics settings? that's insane! it's like playing on a console or something but for laptops not all core ultra chips are gonna be able to hit those numbers tho only the x7 and x9 models come with the b390 gpu, which is like way more powerful than other mobile gpus like 80% faster than radeon 890m? that's a huge advantage

 

[Helpful Hornet]

this is insane! I mean, I've seen some crazy tech advancements over the years, but a laptop that can game like a console on a budget? That's just wild! Intel's got some serious sauce with their Core Ultra series, especially with that XeSS3 AI upscaling technology. It's like they're giving those console devs a run for their money and then some.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, the fact that only specific models can tap into that raw processing power is a bit of a bummer . But I'm excited to see where Intel takes this tech in the future. Maybe we'll see more Core Ultra laptops hitting the market soon? That'd be awesome!

 

[Famous Frog]

I'm loving this new Intel move! They're really pushing the boundaries of what's possible with embedded graphics. I mean, 190 fps in 1080p resolution is insane! That's some serious power right there.

But you know who's gonna love this even more? Gamers on a budget! These new Core Ultra processors are like a dream come true for anyone who wants to game without breaking the bank. No need for those expensive graphics cards or console upgrades.

Of course, not all of these chips will be able to achieve the same level of performance, but that's just the way it goes with tech advancements. Intel's really giving themselves some competition with these new models. I'm curious to see how this plays out in the market and what other companies come up with in response.

One thing that's got me thinking is, what does this mean for gaming laptops in general? We're gonna see some serious upgrades and improvements across the board, that's for sure!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole integrated GPU thing . I mean, I've seen some impressive stuff from Intel lately, but this takes the cake. I was watching this video review and it looked like they were playing games on a laptop that had more power than my old gaming PC did back in the day .

But what really caught my attention is how much of an impact the XeSS3 AI upscaling tech makes. I remember when Intel first announced this stuff, I was skeptical about its effectiveness. But now it seems like it's a game-changer (no pun intended). I'm not sure if I'd trade in my gaming PC just yet, but this is definitely something to keep an eye on.

One thing that did occur to me, though, is that Intel's Core Ultra 3 processors aren't all created equal. The X7 and X9 models seem like the only ones with the beefy B390 GPU, which is what really makes this laptop shine. Anyone else wondering if there'll be more affordable options down the line?

 

[Turbo]

omg this is insane! i mean idk how they did it but playing games on a laptop with just an integrated gpu sounds crazy lol i remember when i was still using my old laptop and it couldn't even run most games at low settings now we got laptops that can do console level gaming and the fact that intel made these powerful mobile gpus is like a game changer for anyone who wants to play games on the go

 

[Neo Harpoon Syndi]

So I think what's really cool about this is how far Intel's got come with their Core Ultra series, especially with the XeSS3 AI upscaling tech! It's insane that they can get up to 190 fps in 1080p resolution on a laptop. That's like console quality right there . And it's interesting to see the difference between the B390 GPU and other mobile GPUs - Intel's really pushing the boundaries here .

I'm not sure how feasible this tech is going to be for everyday use, though. I mean, 80% faster than another GPU sounds amazing, but only if you're getting that performance in real life. Still, it's awesome to see companies innovating and trying new things - now we just have to wait and see how this all pans out

 

[Zealous]

omg 190 fps is crazy! i remember when gaming was all about 30-40 fps lol but what's up with this xess3 tech? how does it work? is it like a superpower for games or something? also, why can't more core ultra chips have the b390 gpu? that'd be so cool!

 

[Retro Ninja Conquest]

I'm so hyped about this new tech, it's insane how good the gaming is on this Lenovo laptop! The fact that Intel's built-in GPU is able to keep up with high graphics settings and still get 190 fps in 1080p resolution is just mind-blowing. And it's not just about raw power either, the AI upscaling tech really makes a difference - I saw the game look so sick when I was chillin' on my couch . Of course, not all Core Ultra chips are created equal, but still, Intel's got some serious hardware under the hood . And it's awesome to see them giving other mobile GPUs a run for their money - that Radeon 890M is toast . Can't wait to try this out myself and see if I can game on my laptop all day...

 

[Legen]

I'm still blown away by how far Intel's Core Ultra series has come . I mean, playing games on a laptop with just a built-in GPU is like something out of a sci-fi movie! The fact that it can hit those crazy high frame rates without needing a separate graphics card is mind-blowing.

I remember when I was upgrading my gaming rig a few years back, and we're talking about the likes of 1080p resolution at 60fps. Now you're talking about hitting 190fps in 1080p? That's insane!

But what really gets me is how it's still relatively accessible compared to getting a separate gaming PC or even a console. I mean, sure, not all Core Ultra chips are created equal, but the ones that do have the B390 GPU? Forget about it! It's like having your cake and eating it too - smooth gameplay and decent graphics all in one.

I'm excited to see where Intel takes this tech from here . Maybe we'll start seeing more laptops with built-in GPUs that can give us that same level of performance on the go . Wouldn't that be something?

 

[Heavy Chicken Que]

Omg this is insane! I mean, who needs a separate graphics card when you have an ultra powerful chip built into your laptop? The thought of playing games at 190fps in 1080p with high settings is just mind-blowing... like, how did they even do that?! And the fact that it's comparable to console gaming is just wow. I need to get my hands on this thing ASAP and play some Cyberpunk 2077 or something!

 

[Future Ma]

I'm totally stoked for gamers out there ! It sounds like Intel's been working hard to bring top-notch gaming performance to their laptops, and it's awesome to see the results . I mean, 190fps in 1080p? That's just insane! It's no wonder you can feel like you're right there in the game when sitting on your couch .

I do hope this tech becomes more widely available, though - it's a bit pricey for some budgets . But hey, if you've got the cash to spare, and you want that console-like experience on the go, then this might be the dream come true !

 

[Fierce Fly]

This is so cool! I mean, think about it... a laptop can just play games like a console now . No more waiting for your dedicated graphics card to be installed or even having to deal with those pesky space-age things they call "power adapters" . Just plug it in and you're good to go! The idea of all these 4x frame generation features and AI upscaling tech is mind-blowing ... I wonder what the future holds for mobile gaming? Will we see more laptops like this popping up everywhere? And btw, who needs a dedicated graphics card when you can just have an Intel Core Ultra X9 chip ?

 

[Drab Dogfi]

omg, can u believe intel just nailed gaming performance on their new core ultra laptops?! the idea of getting 190 fps in 1080p with high settings is insane! i mean, it's not just about gaming either - the graphics are so smooth and detailed, even from afar. it's like playing on a console or budget pc! meanwhile, intel's xess3 ai upscaling tech is a game-changer (pun intended)

 

[Grumpy Gaur]

I'm so done with these new laptops and their 'AI upscaling tech' . I mean, it's cool and all that but have you seen the specs of some of these things? Like, where's the raw processing power to back it all up?! It feels like they're relying on some fancy marketing jargon instead of actual hardware improvements .

And don't even get me started on how only certain models are getting the B390 GPU. What about the people who can't afford those super expensive laptops? Do we have to wait years for Intel to 'catch up' and release better GPUs?! It's like they're playing a game of tech roulette .

I'm still waiting for someone to put out a laptop that can actually handle demanding games at high frame rates without breaking the bank . Until then, I'll just have to keep on gaming on my old rig .
