Intel Graphics 4 Xe3 Panther Lake iGPU

Intel Intel Graphics 4 Xe3

The Intel Graphics 4 Xe3 is an integrated graphics card in Panther Lake SoCs with 4 Xe3 cores (32 EUs / 512 ALUs), 4 raytracing cores and a clock rate of up to 2450 MHz. In contrast to the large 12-core Arc B390 variant, the GPU tile is not manufactured by TSMC but by Intel (ev Intel 4).

Despite internal improvements to the architecture, the gaming performance should be comparable to an AMD Radeon 760M and significantly below the Arc Graphics 140V in Lunar Lake. The 4-core variant in Arrow Lake called Intel Graphics should be clearly beaten.

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 Intel in the Intel 3 (3nm "class") process.

Notebook reviews with Intel Graphics 4 Xe3 Panther Lake iGPU graphics card

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro Laptop Review - Better than the new XPS 16

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro Laptop Review - Better than the new XPS 16

Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Pro gets Intel's Panther Lake processors, Wi-Fi 7 as well as a new OLED touchscreen, which is finally brighter than before. Prices are very high, however, and the Galaxy Book6 Pro faces excellent rivals, so is it enough to beat the XPS 16 or Zenbook S16?

Dell XPS 16 review: Two steps forward, one step back

The 2026 XPS 16 makes massive gains in terms of efficiency and design. Nonetheless, some key sacrifices were made that buyers should be aware of.

Dell XPS 14 Core Ultra 7 355 review: Still great, but not nearly as special

Users who don't need the much-improved graphics horsepower of the Core Ultra X7 will find the less expensive Core Ultra 7 option much more attractive especially if upgrading from an older XPS 13 or XPS 14 model.
