Title: Intel Says It's Rolling Out Laptop GPU Drivers With 10% To 25% Better
Performance

Ars Technica's Andrew Cunningham reports: Intel's oddball Core Ultra 200V
laptop chips -- codenamed Lunar Lake -- will apparently be a one-off
experiment, not to be replicated in future Intel laptop chips. They're
Intel's only processors with memory integrated onto the CPU package; the only
ones with a neural processing unit that meets Microsoft's Copilot+
performance requirements; and the only ones with Intel's best-performing
integrated GPUs, the Intel Arc 130V and 140V. Today, Intel announced some
updates to its graphics driver that specifically benefit those integrated
GPUs, welcome news for anyone who bought one and is trying to get by with it
as an entry-level gaming system. Intel says that version 32.0.101.6734 of its
graphics driver can speed up average frame rates in some games by around 10
percent, and can speed up "1 percent low FPS" (that is, for any given frames
per second measurement, whatever your frame rate is the slowest 1 percent of
the time) by as much as 25 percent. This should, in theory, make games run
better in general and ease some of the stuttering you notice when your game's
performance dips down to that 1 percent level.
