I did.
Dell XPS 13 Laptop | Dell USA
This XPS 13 inch laptop, which features up to 11th Gen Intel processors and 4K display, perfectly caters to your home computing and entertainment needs.

Ok I finally found the product you mean.
Yes it does have 10th gen CPUs. Laptop CPUs. Which have. Wait for it. WAIT FOR IT.
Iris Pro graphics. Because they’re intended for laptops.
The “improved process” hasn’t suddenly made Intels basic iGPU better - Dell picked an i7 that has Intels better iGPU.

Nope, the new 2019 XPS 2 in 1 has 10th gem ICE LAKE chips. Please check screenshot
Please check the replies after the one you quoted, specifically the one before the post I’m quoting now.
Hi, Sorry I didn't read your earlier reply. I'm not an intel fanboy by any means I'm just saying that finally intel is bringing a decent integrated GPU to the table and according to the reviews I've seen so far it seems good and much better than previous gen like intel 620, 640 or 655.
I’m not sure you quite understand. The Iris Pro graphics in that Ice Lake cpu isn’t some groundbreaking new thing. Intels mobile lines have had “reasonable” iGPU options available for a while.
Their desktop range has never (afaik) offered anything remotely close to Iris Pro level graphics.
I understood what I'm saying is that this is a new IRIS architecture, indeed Iris plus with 64EUs is almost as good as RX vega 10 the integrated GPU in the new Ryzen 3000 which is like a NVIDIA MX150, so much better than all previous intel gens.

I think before there can be a Mac Mini update there will need to be a niMac release. Before there can be a niMac release there will probably first need to be some sort of iMac Pro update. Apple seems to like to stagger product releases for optimal sales so it could be a while for the Mac Mini.
As Kraizelburg already explained, the Ice Lake GPU is significantly improved compared to the Skylake-Coffee Lake GPU. Intel GPU performance has otherwise been stagnant since Haswell was released seven years ago, and I think "reasonable" is a stretch.
Also, the Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake lineups contained desktop chips with Iris Pro GPUs (R and C suffix). Notably used (except for Skylake) in the 21.5" iMacs at the time.

Have chips suitable for a Mac mini been announced?
Probably comet lake 14 nm still?
