The relative IPC performance is impressive, since with (a big surprise) much lower base clocks (e.g. ~1.0-1.2Ghz vs ~1.8Ghz of previous gen) and slightly lower boost, these are getting slightly lower, equal or slightly better results in CPU tests (not looking at GPU). That said, it seems like they just couldn't clock them more and get better graphics in within the same TDPs, and overall performance is completely unimpressive compared to 8th gen, and, for top level ones, even worse. Ok, obviously they focused on the GPU and the results are great compared with HD graphics, but I didn't see any comparison with Iris, and I doubt it looks that good. 3700U is currently a mediocre mobile CPU, between 8th gen i7 and i5. Base clock is 2.3Ghz. But that's the Zen+ architecture and the graphic performance is already on the Iris Pro level. If AMD can get the same IPC, clock and TDP improvements as on the desktop for mobile Zen2, where the clocks have not been reduced 30% like Intel did, I think Ice Lake won't be able to compete at all, from what we've seen so far. Of course, there is much more nuance there in terms of heat / power envelopes and now it all ends up together while boosting, but definitely doesn't look very good for Intel based on this...
