Damn that’s cool. I wish the pairing of igpus and cpu cores made a little more sense. They only put the powerful igpus on the powerful cpu cores making the whole thing disproportionately more expensive than it needs to be and it makes me wonder why.
The lower end cpu cores would be more likley to have a desire to use a more powerful igpu the more powerful cpu cores are more likely to get paired with dgpus anyway.

If only they put it on 6-core packages instead of 8.
It’s kinda bad that I will need to pay like 400$ to get 8-core with 890m instead of 860m just to get a better igpu.

All these branding exercises around matching and then leapfrogging competitor nomenclature … just for them to turn around and land on the exact model number of a Geforce laptop card from 10 years ago.
