Hmm, strange. Pretty sure I saw it specifically mentioned in some official materials, have to dig when I have the time.Then I was misled by this gentleman here or that one also: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualc...Adreno-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.763558.0.html
Of course is the whole affair strange. Notebookcheck mentions DirectX 12 FL 11.1, which is DX12 support but only feature level 11.1 if true.Hmm, strange. Pretty sure I saw it specifically mentioned in some official materials, have to dig when I have the time.
They do list DirectX 12 on the specs but that's it on quick glance on phone late in night shift.

So yeah, it seems this SoC is equipped with a 2 gens old GPU. It may sound weird, but at the same time, this GPU seems in line with M2 and 780M, so job done.
I guess they keep the newer gens for upcoming SoC as free "innovation" for the next few years. Why give everything now when you can entice customers with more powerful GPUs for the next few years?
That's a weird case for sure. I guess we'll have to wait a bit more till the thing can be properly reviewed.Considering QCOM's smartphone ULP SoCs GPUs are >DX11 for generations now and they already have there RT support in hw, it doesn't make sense from any marketing POV. In fact it's what I'd call a marketing oxymoron, since DX12 was a "necessity" for the past few years now under Android, but not for a future low end PC and or laptop?
