A new Intel Arc graphics chip has surfaced on GFXBench, demonstrating notable performance improvements compared to its Lunar Lake version. This GPU, known as the Arc 140T, delivered frame rates that exceed those of the current Arc 140V integrated graphics by over 60 percent.
Benchmark Results
According to benchmark results shared by Michael (@miktdt) on X, the Arc 140T achieved a score of 11,056 frames at 178.3 FPS in GFXBench’s OpenGL test. In contrast, the Arc 140V models with 16GB and 8GB of memory only managed 110.3 FPS (6,839 frames) and 106.7 FPS (6,613 frames), respectively.
Performance Differences
Despite both the 140T and 140V featuring the same eight Xe Cores, there is a clear performance gap—likely stemming from differences in design or implementation. Based on the specifications and naming conventions, it appears that the 140T is more geared towards integrated graphics rather than functioning as a standalone GPU.
Future Prospects
It’s possible that the 140T is designed for Intel's forthcoming Arrow Lake-H/HX mobile chips. This aligns with Intel's approach: Arrow Lake is centered on boosting performance, while Lunar Lake emphasizes energy efficiency. The variation in performance between the two could be linked to the types of transistors used, with the 140T probably utilizing higher-performance transistors compared to the power-efficiency-oriented ones in the 140V from Lunar Lake.
If everything proceeds as expected, the Arc 140T could debut in Arrow Lake mobile chips around early 2025. As of now, Intel has not officially verified these specifications or performance figures.
