Intel is preparing to introduce its newest Core Ultra 200V “Lunar Lake” portable CPU lineup, tailored for ultralight laptops, mini-PCs, and gaming handhelds. The Lunar Lake CPUs will showcase Xe2-derived embedded graphics (Arc 130V and 140V), which have been the subject of speculation until now. However, a recent evaluation quantifies its OpenCL performance in CompuBench, enabling comparisons with other GPUs.

The integrated graphical system in the Core Ultra 200V series will incorporate Intel’s most recent Xe2 graphics for energy-efficient devices, Xe2-LPG. Two Arc iGPUs will be included: the Arc 140V featuring 8 Xe2-Cores and the Arc 130V with 7 Xe2-Cores.

Conducted CompuBench OpenCL assessments on the Arc 140V (via VideoCardz) deliver insights into its performance. Despite the lack of detailed specifications regarding the Core Ultra model utilized in the testing, it’s verified that the GPU’s clock speed is 2000MHz, narrowing down the possibilities to either the Core Ultra 7 268V or the Core Ultra 7 266V. Noteworthy, the GPU is equipped with 8GB of system-shared memory.

It’s important to recognize that while these OpenCL benchmarks offer a glimpse into raw computational capability, they might not directly mirror gaming performance. Comparing it to the Xe-LPG-based Arc A370M, which boasts 8 Xe-Cores and a power range of 35W to 50W, reveals the Lunar Lake’s iGPU dominance despite the lower power draw (17W-30W). Moreover, the Arc 140V outshines the Radeon 780M and performs on par with the GTX 1650. However, it’s crucial to remember this is just one benchmark, necessitating additional comparative data from varied benchmarks and games for a comprehensive performance assessment.
