Intel has now released the Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics card，Based on Xe-LP graphics architecture，It uses the same graphics architecture as the Xe core display，Designed for thin and light notebooks。Intel says，The Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics card is Intel's first discrete graphics card based on the Xe architecture，Part of Intel's strategy to enter the discrete graphics market。
Intel Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics with Intel Deep Link technology，The technology is part of Intel Adaptix，Support PCIe Gen 4 interface，Meets the performance demands of content creation on thin and light notebooks。
Deep Link can aggregate multiple processing engines through a common software framework，Bringing New Features and Better Performance to the PC。The framework maximizes CPU performance，Enhancing the creative efficiency of artificial intelligence (Al)，And take industry-leading video encoding capabilities to the next level，And then unleash the creativity of thin and light notebooks。
Deep Link technology combines multiple processing engines in a common software framework，Can help software developers greatly enhance the performance of content creation workloads。Applications can scale certain workloads across integrated and discrete graphics。E.g：
- Additive AI function，Support for inference and rendering on two GPUs，to accelerate content creation workloads。
- Super Video Encoding by Combining Industry-Leading Video Encoding Engines Integrated in Each GPU，Save time for video rendering，Enables quick video preview or sharing。
Intel also stated，The 11th Generation Smart Intel Core mobile processor equipped with Intel Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics has Additive AI function，7x faster AI-based creation than comparable laptops with third-party graphics；And it has super video encoding function，Up to 1.78 times faster video encoding than high-end desktop graphics cards。
also，In thin and light notebooks with third-party discrete graphics，CPU is rarely optimized for performance。When the Intel Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics card is idle，Deep Link's Dynamic Power Sharing dedicates all power and cooling resources to the CPU，Boost CPU performance by up to 20% while creators are performing ongoing tasks, such as performing final renders。
in terms of games，Intel Iris Xe MAX discrete graphics can also help thin and light notebooks provide a smooth 1080p mainstream gaming experience。Instant Game Tuning function through graphics post-processing technology Game Sharpening and game optimization，Intel could take gaming even further。These features are available from the Intel Graphics Control Center。
