The Intel Arc B390 (or Arc Pro B390) Panther Lake iGPU with 12 Xe3 cores is the most powerful integrated graphics card in the Intel Panther Lake SoC series with 12 Xe3 cores. The 12 cores result in 96 CUs and 1,536 ALUs. Initial benchmarks show a significant increase in performance compared to the Intel Arc 140T in Arrow Lake.
Intel itself states that the Panther Lake iGPU offers >50% performance compared to Lunar Lake (Intel Arc 140V) and >40% performance / watt compared to Arrow Lake H (Intel Arc 140T). This means that the current RDNA 3.5 iGPU from AMD (AMD Radeon 890M in Strix Point APUs) should be clearly outperformed. However, it will probably remain behind Strix Halo (AMD Radeon 8050S).
Our tests show the Arc B390 is approaching the RTX 4050 Laptop GPU (Intel is 6-25% slower than Nvidia), while also trailing the faster Radeon 8050S by 20-35%, depending on the application or game.
Furthermore, the performance will depend heavily on the cooling and the guaranteed TDP. However, the performance should also be sufficient for playable frame rates in low settings for demanding games such as Anno 117 or The Outer Worlds 2.
The new media engine now supports AV1 encode and decode, VVC decode, AVC 10-bit and eDP 1.5.
The GPU chiplet is produced at TSMC in the modern N3E 3nm process.
