  • Great for light 4K editing
  • Decent gaming performance in titles that support Intel XESS

Cons:

  • Hampered by thermal throttling and triple digit CPU package temperatures when under sustained CPU intensive workloads
  • Expensive for the top spec model

KitGuru says: The IT15 is a useful, powerful and compact computer. Unfortunately it is hampered by very high CPU temperatures when under intensive CPU workloads.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
