Intel's Arc 140V iGPU featuring Xe2 GPU cores has been tested at CompuBench and delivers great graphics performance.
The Lunar Lake CPUs are getting tested more frequently than before as we approach the launch next week. We have already seen a couple of benchmarks of Core Ultra 200V CPUs but very few of their Xe2 iGPUs. This time, we have the leaked benchmark of the Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics, which will be part of Intel Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 processors. The Arc 140V was previously tested on Compubench, roughly a month ago. Once again, the Arc 140V "Xe2" GPU has been spotted on Compubench but now with more accurate representation of the performance.
Before delving into the results, keep in mind that CompuBench isn't the best platform to compare the GPU performance as it offers mostly OpenCl results but with the new GFXBench benchmarks, it does look like the Arc 140V is close to entry-level discrete GPUs such as NVIDIA's GTX 1650 and also close to the new Radeon 890M iGPU which has double the core count of 16 compute units based on the newer RDNA 3.5 architecture.
In the Compute tab, the Level Set Segmentation -128 and 256 scores have been improved dramatically. Not only the Arc 140V has resulted in a strong 40% and 10% uplifts in the tests respectively compared to the last time, but it has also increased the performance gap between itself and the Radeon 780M, which scored 2390.41mVoxels/s and 2972.968mVoxels/s respectively. This is possibly due to getting official support for the latest Intel GPU driver, which was released a few days back.
