features Deep 
Link
INTRODUCTION
• Intel has released some new details on 
its new Iris Xe MAX discrete GPU. 
• It will feature the same 96 EUs as its 
integrated counterpart, but unlike it, it 
has a higher TDP that can push the clock 
speed to 1.65GHz and comes with a 
dedicated 4GB memory.

GPU FEATURE
• The GPU features variable-rate shading 
and Intel DLBoost and works over PCIe 
4.0.
• Intel Iris Xe (iGPU) and Xe MAX (dGPU) 
are practically the same. 
• So intel was desperately searching for 
new technology to compensate for the 
performance of the new GPUs.

WHAT IS DEEP LINK?
• Deep Link is a platform innovation that 
allows Intel to tap the integrated GPU 
and dedicated GPU together and the 
CPU. 
• It is a massive boost in terms of GPU 
performance.

HOW DEEP LINK WORKS?
• Deep Link will aggregate multiple 
processing engines through a common 
software framework. 
• It will bring new capabilities and better 
performance to the PCs using it. 
• The framework helps laptops by 
maximizing CPU performance and 
boosting the artificial intelligence (AI) 
creation performance.

PERFORMANCE
• The Intel Iris Xe MAX easily beats 
NVIDIA’s MX350 in the benchmark. 
• However, Intel Iris Xe MAX GPU is seen 
to offer more consistent performance 
throughout the gaming tiers.

Dynamic Power Share
• Dynamic Power Share can enable a 
laptop with a 30-watt, 11th-generation 
Core i7 and Iris Xe Max to deliver 40 
percent faster performance for Adobe 
Lightroom’s enhance details feature 
over a laptop with a 20-watt, 10th-gen 
Core i7 and GeForce MX350 discrete 
GPU.

AI features
• When it comes to enhanced AI features, 
the 11-gen Core i7-Iris Xe Max pairing 
can perform the photo upscale workload 
in Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel AI application 
roughly seven times faster than the 
10th-gen Core i7-GeForce MX350 
configuration.

Iris Xe Max
• Iris Xe Max, which is based on Intel’s 10-
nanometer SuperFin technology, comes 
with 96 execution units, a 1.65GHz 
frequency, 4GB in memory, two multi-
format codec engines as well as support 
for LPDDR4x memory, PCIe 4.0 and Intel 
Deep Learning Boost with the DP4A 
instructions.

DL Boost
• Intel's Iris Xe MAX GPU features DL 
Boost and on top of that Deep Link 
allows the notebook to distribute AI 
workloads to all three devices, an Xe 
MAX equipped notebook absolutely 
decimates its weight class and even 
hands out a solid beating to NVIDIA's 
RTX 2080 flagship mobility GPU.

Latency Issues
• There are some situations where the Iris 
Xe integrated graphics of an 11th-gen 
Core processor can faster gaming 
performance than the Iris Xe Max 
discrete graphics. 
• The company said this is typically due to 
latency issues related to traversing the 
PCIe bus, among other things.
