I'm developing a Full HD AIR desktop application to run on Windows, and it is likely to use the classic display list, rather than Starling. There will be quite a bit of animation on screen, mostly using GSAP Tween engine.
I usually spec a fast i5 / i7 CPU, with a decent NVidia card such as a Geforce GTX 560. My hardware supplier has advised they cannot provide my requested CPU & GPU combination, and have instead recommended an Intel Core i7 4770R (quad-core, 3.2 GHz) (Turbo up to 3.9 GHz), with integrated graphics Intel Iris Pro 5200 w/128MB eDRAM. The specification of the CPU & GPU look ok, but I wondered if anyone has any experience of using either this CPU or GPU with AIR desktop applications, and what they think to the performance? Should the low amount of 128MB RAM on the integrated graphics be a concern?
