Intel ice lake will represent a major evolution in Intel's integrated graphics
Table of contents:
Integrated graphics for Intel processors will get their first major major hardware update in years after version 9.5, which debuted with Skylake processors. We tell you all the news about the new graphics hardware from Intel Ice Lake.
Intel to improve integrated graphics capabilities on Ice Lake processors
The new Intel Ice Lake processors will introduce the new Gen 11 graphics architecture, which should be a significant leap forward in performance. This new architecture may already include some of the features that will be present on Intel's Artic Sounds and Jupiter Sounds graphics cards, which will hit the market in 2020 and are being developed by a team led by Raja Koduri.

With the introduction of the Gen11 architecture, Itel confirmed at a 2018 XDC conference presentation that the iGPU will support DisplayPort 1.4a along with VESA DSC (Screen Flow Compression), allowing it to support screen resolutions of up to 5K with an update rate of 120 Hz.
Without DSC technology, a 5K-120Hz image requires 42.4 Gbps of bandwidth, which even DisplayPort with HBR3 cannot provide as it peaks at 32.4 Gbps. DSC offers a "visual lossless" compression of the screen flow up to approximately 14 Gbps, which can be conveniently handled by DisplayPort 1.4a, even 8K @ 60Hz is also possible.
Support for these new high resolutions does not imply that Gen11 iGPUs allow gaming at those resolutions. Support for them is required by the rapid increases in resolutions and update rates of high-end notebooks and ultraportable devices.
