AMD Radeon 840M vs Intel Arc 7-Core iGPU
AMD Radeon 840M
► remove from comparison
The Radeon 840M is a fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in early 2025 in Krakan Point APUs and a direct successor to the Radeon 740M. It packs just a few differences under the hood, such as faster caches; its 4CUs/WGPs (256 unified shaders) run at up to 2,900 MHz.
DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. The latest addition to that list, the VVC codec, is not HW-supported unlike it is with Intel Lunar Lake chips. Miracast and FreeSync support is present. The iGPU can drive up to 4 monitors simultaneously with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p60.
RDNA 3.5-based GPUs are projected to be fully supported by AMD until some time in 2027.
Performance
Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games in low graphics settings. Looking at the specs, the 840M should be slightly faster than the average Radeon 740M.
Power consumption
Krakan Point chips are a single-die design, meaning the iGPU is built with the same TSMC N4P process as the CPU cores for above average, as of late 2024, power efficiency.
Intel Arc 7-Core iGPU
► remove from comparison
The Intel Arc iGPU with 7 cores is an integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). It offers 7 of the 8 Xe cores (112 Xe Vector Engines), 7 raytracing units, 7 samplers and probably also 4 pixel backends.
The Arc name may only be used if at least 16 GB RAM is used in dual channel mode. Otherwise, the iGPU is only called "Intel Graphics" and is also significantly slower.
According to Intel, performance has been doubled compared to the previous generation (probably still in Alder Lake).
The iGPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (probably DX 12_2 like the desktop Arc GPUs). The graphics unit also supports XeSS AI Super Sampling.
The media engine of Meteor Lake is in the SOC tile and supports up to 8k60 10-bit HDR encode and decode of MPEG2, AVC, VP9, HEVC and AV1. The display engine is also in the SoC tile and supports HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 20G with up to 8K60 HDR.
The GPU Tile of the Meteor Lake chip is manufactured at TSMC on 5nm (5N process).
