Intel Alder Lake-S iGPU spotted with 32 execution units

VideoCardz writes Intel's Alder Lake-S showed up in the database of the SiSoft Sandra benchmark. The leaked results show the performance of this 12th Gen Core chip's integrated graphics. The test reveals the benchmarked Alder Lake-S engineering sample has a GPU with 32 execution units (EUs), which are detected as 256 shading units. Alder Lake-S is the successor or Rocket Lake-S, it's expected to be released in 2022.

For comparison, the flagship CPU model of the current series (Core i9-10900K “Comet Lake-S”) ships with 24 EUs (192 Shading Units). That said, the future successor will carry more GPU cores.

The leak does not directly confirm whether the CPU features Xe Graphics (Gen12), but since the 11th Gen Core series (Rocket Lake-S) – also not yet released, is already confirmed to feature Xe Graphics, then the successor is more than likely to feature the next-generation graphics IP as well.
