Intel still has a few surprises for its GPU users as evidence of new FPS boosting tech surfaces
Last week, Intel and Nvidia announced a partnership to develop AI infrastructure and personal computing products. This was a major development in the tech industry but raised suspicion about Intel’s current offerings, particularly GPUs, a segment that it has not paid a lot of attention to. More recently, there were reports of new dedicated gaming GPUs on the horizon and now, a new leak has hinted at technological upgrades for its Arc graphics cards.
Redditor Organic-Bird-587 posted on the IntelArc subreddit evidence of multi-frame generation coming to Arc GPUs. The user looked into the Arc driver files and found code mentioning “Multi-Frame Generation (XeSS),” as well as an icon associated with frame generation. While Intel has not shared any information on this tech coming to its GPUs, the code suggests there could be something in the pipeline.
Intel already has frame generation (XeSS FG) just like AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) and both work on competitive GPUs. Nvidia is the only one that has multi-frame generation and it is exclusive to RTX 50 series GPUs. This means Intel’s multi-frame generation could arrive on GPUs outside of Intel’s own portfolio. That being said, Lossless Scaling, a third-party tool, does just that and can offer up to 20x frame generation on GPUs from all three manufacturers.
This information comes shortly after Intel’s job listing for an SoC Performance Engineer was spotted. This position involves validating and optimizing for gaming performance on high-end desktop SoCs with a focus on dGFX gaming performance. It suggests that Intel is still working on discrete graphics, but it is unclear when the next Arc Battlemage GPU will arrive. The company has confirmed that its sticking with its roadmap and will continue to bring GPU product offerings.
