Intel’s Arc 140V integrated GPU, featuring Xe2 GPU cores, has been examined in CompuBench, revealing impressive graphics performance. The Lunar Lake CPUs are undergoing increased testing as the launch nears. While several benchmarks for the Core Ultra 200V CPUs have emerged, fewer evaluations for their Xe2 iGPUs have appeared. Recently, the Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics, included in Intel Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 processors, underwent another assessment on CompuBench, this time showcasing a more accurate performance representation.
Before diving into the results, it’s important to note that CompuBench primarily provides OpenCl results, which may not be the best platform for GPU performance comparisons. However, new GFXBench benchmarks indicate that the Arc 140V is competitive with entry-level discrete GPUs, such as NVIDIA’s GTX 1650, and approaches the performance of the Radeon 890M iGPU, which features 16 compute units based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.
The Compute tab shows significant improvements in the Level Set Segmentation -128 and 256 scores, with the Arc 140V demonstrating a 40% and 10% uplift, respectively, compared to previous tests. This performance increase widens the gap between the Arc 140V and the Radeon 780M, which scored 2390.41mVoxels/s and 2972.968mVoxels/s, respectively, likely due to the latest Intel GPU driver support.
The table below summarises the performance results:
In graphics tests, the Arc 140V showed strong performance ahead of the 780M in several areas. However, in Aztec Ruins tests, both Normal Tier and High Tier, the 140V scored 74.9 fps and 50.3 fps respectively, compared to the 780M’s 80.1 fps and 60.9 fps. More comprehensive real-world benchmarks are needed to draw definitive conclusions.
It’s also essential to consider the varying TDPs, with AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APUs configurable from 15W to 54W, while discrete GPUs range from 35-75W. The Arc 140V shares TDP with the Lunar Lake SOC, rated at 17W at PL1 and peaking at 30W at PL2.
– Aztec Ruins Normal Tier: 4817 Frames (74.9 fps) vs. 5149 Frames (80.1 fps)
– Aztec Ruins High Tier: 3232 Frames (50.3 fps) vs. 3913 Frames (60.9 fps)
The Arc 140V was tested with 8GB of shared system memory, operating at 2000 MHz, likely on an Intel Core Ultra 266V or 268V. This GPU features Xe2-LPG architecture and is part of the mobile-specific Lunar Lake chips, expected to launch on September 3rd.
