GravityMark benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Renderer: Vulkan. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

Right from the start with the GravityMark Vulkan test we see the Core Ultra 7 155H able to deliver better performance than the RDNA3 graphics found with the Ryzen Z1 Extreme with the ASUS ROG Ally handheld. The ACPI performance platform profile did help the ROG Ally a bit but not enough to match the Arc Graphics performance in this case.
