Although the CPU hasn't been improved much, Intel has improved its iGPU quite a lot and now outperforms the current Ryzen mobile. [1]

I think it is natural for Intel to start making dGPU to replace popular mainstream mobile GPU such as nVidia MX250. And that's what Intel's new DG1 starts from.

Well, not really iGPU, those low res benchmarks relies more on CPU, and Icelake is quite far ahead of 1st Gen Zen. Not to mention it is an 14nm product and not even priced at the same segment.

The coming Ryzen Mobile with Zen 2 and Power Optimised Vega will do far better.

Fair point, but what I mean is Intel is probably at a good time to make its own dGPU for mobile, just to clarify.
