What is new is that the "integrated graphics" are programmable, like tiny little GeForce or Radeon chips. No, they aren't as powerful as discrete GPUs, but they can do a lot of work. If you want your software to stay competitive, you'd better start using it. Notice the quote - a software update to After Effects caused the execution time of some job they were doing to go from 4.5 minutes to 0.75 minutes. Same hardware. Same workload. The only difference was software that took advantage of this new hardware paradigm that is going to start showing up everywhere... > I'm guessing the change you're really trying to speak on is the pairing of performance and efficiency cores, which has been common in mobile devices for quite a long time, but was brought to laptops with Apple Silicon, and finally reaches desktops with Alder Lake. It is that, AND guaranteed access to a programmable GPU
