What is Intel Iris Xe Graphics?

Intel Iris Xe (96 EU) is the integrated GPU in 11th Gen Tiger Lake. It delivers 2-3x the GPU throughput of Intel UHD 620/630 in 8th-10th Gen machines — making a real difference in Photoshop, Canva, DaVinci Resolve, and light gaming.

Verified from Lenovo official documentation and Intel ARK. Browse all Lenovo laptops in our Nairobi range.

i711th Gen Tiger Lake

3.0GHz base — 4.8GHz boost. 4 Cores, 8 Threads. 12MB L3 cache. Intel's 11th Gen Tiger Lake delivers a meaningful leap over 8th and 10th Gen — faster per-core IPC, higher boost clock, and the Iris Xe GPU that changes what integrated graphics can actually do for creative and professional work in Kenya.

🎮

Intel Iris Xe Graphics (96 EU) — Why This Changes Things

The Iris Xe with 96 Execution Units is a 2–3× improvement over Intel UHD 620/630 found in 8th–10th Gen machines. Photoshop GPU filters run faster. Canva renders complex templates without lag. DaVinci Resolve preview playback is smooth at 1080p. Light gaming (Minecraft, CS:GO, Valorant at low-medium settings) is genuinely playable. For Kenyan creative professionals who have been frustrated by slow GPU previews on older Intel integrated graphics — this is the machine where that problem disappears.

⚠️

RAM is Soldered — 16GB Fixed, Cannot Be Upgraded

The X1 Carbon Gen 9 uses LPDDR4x memory soldered directly to the motherboard. The 16GB cannot be increased after purchase — what you buy is what it stays. This is standard for ultra-thin premium business laptops. The good news: 16GB LPDDR4x at 4266MHz covers all professional workloads comfortably. The 512GB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD is user-replaceable via M.2 slot.

i7-1185G7 — 4.8GHz Boost

4 Cores, 8 Threads, 12MB L3. The highest single-core boost clock in our EX-UK stock under Ksh 60,000. Fastest compile times, fastest export rendering.

16GB LPDDR4x — 4266MHz

Fast dual-channel memory soldered for lower profile and power consumption. Paired with Iris Xe for shared high-bandwidth GPU VRAM pool.

512GB NVMe PCIe 4.0

PCIe Gen 4 SSD — sequential read up to 7,000MB/s. The fastest NVMe standard available. Replaceable via M.2 slot when more storage is needed.

14" FHD+ 1920×1200 — 16:10

16:10 aspect ratio — 11% more vertical screen real estate than standard 16:9. Sharper, taller canvas for documents, terminals, and design work.
