There’s one thing we know all know about integrated graphics: they suck. Usually, they’re barely enough to play any modern games, or even some old ones. But Intel is trying to make them suck significantly less with its ‘Gen11’ series of GPUs next year. Intel seems to have skipped a number, considering we’re currently at Gen9, but it’s indicative of the performance boost the company is going for.
