Graphics Specifications

Intel® Gen9LP features
  • Gen9LP graphic engine can run at 450MHz or 650MHz according to model. See the model descriptions in the System on Module Overview .
  • Intel 9th generation (Gen 9LP) graphics encoder / decoder engine
  • Two or three slices of 6 EUs; each slice supports 6 threads resulting in a total of 12 or 18 available threads, depending on device SKU and configuration. See the configuration descriptions in the System on Module Overview .
  • Supports 3D rendering, media composting, and video encoding
  • Graphics burst (570x only) enabled through energy counters
  • Supports OpenGL* 4.3, OpenGL ES 3.1 and OpenCL 2.0
  • 4x anti-aliasing
  • Supports content protection using PAVP and HDCP 1.4/2.0
  • Hardware capable of (up to) 4k video encode and decode; software dependencies exist.

Product and Performance Information

1

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
