Intel Arc Graphics 140T vs Intel Arc Graphics 140V

Intel Arc Graphics 140T

Intel Arc 140T is the iGPU used in the Intel Arrow Lake H/HX processor series. It is based on the Xe+ architecture (and not the newer Xe2 architecture that e.g. the Arc Graphics 140V in Lunar Lake uses). The graphics adapter features 8 cores (128 CUs, 8 Raytracing units) with XMX instructions for improved AI performance and 8 MB L2-Cache.

Thanks to the similar core count and clock speed but higher TDP, the performance should be similar to the Xe2 based Intel Arc 140V iGPU. First leaked benchmarks even showed a vastly better performance. All in all, we think that the Arc 140T will be only suited for entry level gaming in lowest settings.

The Arc 140T is integrated in the H and HX series of CPUs but use an own chiplet that is manufactured at TSMC in 5nm (N5P process).

Intel Arc Graphics 140V

The Intel Arc Graphics 140V is a pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8 iGPU; it has 8 Xe² architecture "cores" (codename Battlemage) running at up to 2,050 MHz and 8 ray tracing units at its disposal.

DirectX 12 Ultimate is fully supported here and the iGPU also supports hardware-decoding a long list of popular video codecs such as h.266 VVC, h.265 HEVC, h.264 AVC, AV1 and VP9. It can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1.

Just like it was with Meteor Lake, Intel taps its Foveros technology to build Lunar Lake chips meaning the iGPU and the CPU cores are found on different dies stacked on top of each other or next to each other.

Performance

With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings or higher. In our September 2024 testing, we got well over 30 fps in Ghost of Tsushima and almost 40 fps in Baldur's Gate 3. This means the Radeon 780M gets left behind while the Radeon 890M reigns supreme.

Power consumption

Lunar Lake processors' power consumption figures are relatively modest at around 20 W to 30 W, with up to about a half of that getting consumed by the integrated GPU.
