Intel UHD 617 equivalent? (2018 Air)

[Gill Bates]

I don't really expect or plan to game on the new macbook air..
But does anyone know how the graphics in it performs in small/simple/old games?

Games like Minecraft, ShellShock Live, Limbo, Inside, CS:GO, Trackmania (with wine) etc.
(just examples)
Would the new Air be able to run those with ok framerate?

If the intel UHD 617 is close to the performance of a HD 620 then it's not too bad.

Anyone with some info?

Minecraft is a lot more complex than you think, at least CPU wise. I just set up Two Point Hospital on my girlfriends' one and she's playing now, medium settings and a lower resolution - but it's running fine. I think as long as you appreciate the capability of it and don't expect 4K ultra settings then you'll be okay.
