Intel’s Xe2 “Arc 140V” iGPU for Lunar Lake Spotted at CompuBench

Intel’s Xe2-based Arc 140V GPU, set to feature in the upcoming Lunar Lake CPUs, has been spotted in the CompuBench benchmark, revealing significant details about its performance and capabilities.

CompuBench Benchmark Insights

A recent CompuBench benchmark has confirmed the integrated graphics for Intel’s Core Ultra 200V lineup, showcasing the computing prowess of the Arc 140V “Xe2” iGPU on Windows. This benchmark also validates the rumored naming convention for the iGPUs in the Lunar Lake 200V CPUs.

Performance Highlights

While CompuBench may not be the ultimate tool for gaming performance analysis, it provides a solid indication of the GPU’s capabilities in various operations. The Xe2-based Arc iGPUs are estimated to be up to 1.5 times faster than the Xe-based graphics on Meteor Lake chips.

The Intel Arc 140V can achieve clock speeds up to 2.05GHz, though this is dependent on the CPU model. Leaks suggest that the Arc 140V will primarily feature in the Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 chips, with clock speeds ranging from 1.95GHz to 2.05GHz. The highest clock speed is exclusive to the Ultra 9 288V, the sole Core Ultra 9 CPU in the lineup. Four different Core Ultra 7 models can reach a maximum of 2.0GHz on the Arc 140V.

Benchmark Results

Here are some key benchmark results for the Intel Arc 140V “Xe2” iGPU:

Level Set Segmentation – 128: 2690.847 mVoxels/s
Level Set Segmentation – 256: 4824.12 mVoxels/s
Ocean Surface Simulation: 1544.409 Iterations/s
Catmull-Clark Subdivision Level 3: 174.666 mTriangles/s
Catmull-Clark Subdivision Level 5: 126.484 mTriangles/s
Vertex Connection and Merging: 4.334 mPixels/s
Subsurface Scattering: 4159.43 mSample/s
Subsurface Scattering multiple view: 3528.748 mSample/s

Architecture and Performance

The Intel Arc 140V iGPU will feature 8 Xe2 cores, while the 7 Xe Core Arc 130V will be part of the Core Ultra 5 SKUs. These iGPUs, based on the Xe-2 LPG architecture, are designed for light and entry-level mobile systems, offering up to a 50% performance boost compared to the first-gen Xe architecture. Benchmarks indicate that the Xe2 iGPUs could deliver nearly double the performance of the Xe-LPG “Alchemist” chips, though actual gaming performance will vary based on the title and driver optimizations.

Upcoming Releases

Intel’s Lunar Lake lineup, aimed at thin and light mobile devices, is expected to launch this September, followed by the Intel Arrow Lake-S CPUs for desktops. However, AMD’s “Ryzen AI 300” Strix Point chips are anticipated to release two months before Lunar Lake.
