That's an improvement I guess, but I feel like "showing off" a 30fps solution for PC games is just going to get them laughed at.

It is big improvement coming from Intel, considering Iris Plus barely runs on low preset for 1080p. It puts Intel at least near parity with AMD with the Vega APUs until AMD moves away from Vega APUs.
