Our collection of Panther Lake deep dive sessions from Intel Technology Tour 2025 concludes with Intel Fellow Tom “TAP” Petersen and a closer look at power-efficient gaming on next-gen Core Ultra processors. He explores updates in the Xe3 graphics architecture and how they impact both microbenchmarks and an individual frame. Smarter techniques like XeSS play a significant role in improving gaming smoothness, and our new Multi-Frame Generation technology takes things to the next level with XeSS-MFG. TAP also widens the aperture to look at how platform-level tuning can optimize performance for built-in graphics, especially on mobile processors with more limited power budgets.
