Intel adds frame generation to Meteor Lake processors

Following the release of the XeSS SDK 2.1.1 developer kit, which added certain optimizations and APIs, Meteor Lake chips will be able to run XeSS Frame Generation. This method helps generate artificial frames between real ones, thus improving smoothness without additional load on the GPU. As a result, devices will be able to achieve better performance.
Why didn't Intel add frame generation right away?
Before this stage, Meteor Lake did not support frame generation because it did not have XMX tensor blocks. These processors use DPAS AI blocks, also known as XMX-Lite. These blocks only perform machine learning tasks and have lower performance. In addition, the graphics are based on the Xe-LPG architecture, which also has certain limitations. Therefore, the company did not launch frame generation earlier.
In version 2.1.1, Intel added support for:
- Compact Frame Generation model.
- Minimization of neural weight accuracies.
- Optimization of DPAS cores.
Thus, even on systems without full tensor modules, it became possible to launch XeSS Frame Generation.
Performance on Meteor Lake will not be top-notch, but image smoothness will improve slightly, and FPS will increase in certain games.
Developers can already start integrating the XeSS Frame Generation method into games via the SDK.
