In the comparative analysis, the Arc 140T was evaluated against two variants of the Arc 140V GPU, one equipped with 16GB of memory and the other with 8GB. The 8GB Arc 140V managed to render a total of 6,613 frames, averaging 106.7 frames per second (FPS). The 16GB version produced 6,839 frames, averaging 110.3 FPS. In contrast, the Arc 140T rendered 11,056 frames, averaging 178.3 FPS, which is a 62% improvement over the 16GB Arc 140V. Despite these performance differences, both the 140T and 140V GPUs are reported to have the same number of Xe Cores, totaling eight. This suggests that factors beyond core count are contributing to the enhanced performance of the 140T.
The Arc 140T's naming convention and specifications closely align with those of the Arc 140V GPU used in some of Intel's Lunar Lake chips, indicating that the 140T is likely an integrated graphics unit rather than a discrete GPU like the Arc A770 or A750. It is plausible that the 140T represents the mobile variant of Intel's Xe2 integrated graphics engine, potentially associated with the upcoming Arrow Lake-H/HX processors. Arrow Lake is designed with a focus on performance optimization, contrasting with Lunar Lake's emphasis on power efficiency. The superior performance of the 140T may be attributed to the use of higher-performance transistors, as opposed to the lower-power transistors employed in Lunar Lake's Xe2 iGPU. Higher-performance transistors allow for increased clock speeds, thereby enhancing overall performance despite similar core specifications.
Intel has not yet officially confirmed the details surrounding the Arc 140T graphics engine. Further information is expected to be released upon the official announcement of the mobile version of Arrow Lake (Arrow Lake-H/HX), anticipated to be available early next year.
