Intel Arc Graphics 140V vs Intel Arc Graphics 130V

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.

Intel Arc Graphics 130V

The Intel Arc Graphics 130V is an integrated graphics adapter that lower-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 7 iGPU; it has 7 Xe² architecture "cores" (codename Battlemage) running at up to 1,850 MHz and 7 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.

Performance

Its performance can be vastly different depending on which benchmarks and games one runs. Oftentimes, it isn't much faster than its direct predecessor, the Arc 7. It is clear the 130V isn't fast enough to run most triple-A 2024 games at 1080p. However, it's still more than good enough for an occasional gaming session.

• Helldivers 2: 25 fps (Med, 1080p). The Arc 7 and the Radeon 880M deliver similar results.
• Ready or Not: 40 fps (Med, 1080p). The GeForce MX350 delivers a similar result.
