Intel's Xe2-based Arc 140V GPU which will be featured on Lunar Lake CPUs has been spotted in the CompuBench benchmark.
CompuBench Benchmark Reveals Intel's Lunar Lake "Xe2" iGPU, Arc 140V For Top Lunar Lake Chips
Roughly a month ago, we reported about Intel's next-gen Lunar Lake lineup for the mobile platform which consists of about 9 different SKUs. Today, a new benchmark popped up on CompuBench, confirming the integrated graphics for the Core Ultra 200V lineup.
The benchmarks reveal the computing performance of Intel's Arc 140V "Xe2" iGPU on the Windows operating system and confirm the rumored naming convention for the iGPUs on Lunar Lake 200V CPUs.
While CompuBench isn't the best way to analyze or compare the GPU's actual performance in gaming, its computing performance in multiple tests can give a rough indication of a GPU's capabilities in various operations. It's estimated that the Xe2-based Arc iGPUs are up to 1.5X faster than the Xe-based graphics on Meteor Lake chips.
The Intel Arc 140V can reach up to 2.05GHz but the iGPU clock speed is determined by the CPU model. While the details about the CPU used in the benchmark are not known, previous leaks suggested that the Arc 140V will primarily be part of the Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 chips. The clock speed of Arc 140V can vary from 1.95GHz to 2.05GHz. The latter, however, is only available on the Ultra 9 288V, which is the only Core Ultra 9 CPU in the lineup. For the remaining Core Ultra 7 chips, four different models can reach a maximum of 2.0GHz on the Arc 140V.

The Intel Arc 140V iGPU will feature 8 Xe2 cores while the 7 Xe Core Arc 130V will be part of the Core Ultra 5 SKUs. These Arc iGPUs will be based on the Xe-2 LPG architecture, which is specifically built for light and entry-level mobile systems but will provide up to 50% performance uplift compared to the first gen Xe architecture. We have also seen benchmarks where the Xe2 iGPUs have offered almost 2x the performance leap over Xe-LPG "Alchemist" chips but these are all synthetic tests and actual gaming performance would vary depending on the title and the level of driver optimizations that Intel will offer. The company did state that Xe2 will have far better driver-level optimizations than the previous architecture.
Intel's Lunar Lake lineup will be featured on thin and light mobile devices and is expected to launch this September, followed by Intel Arrow Lake-S CPUs for the desktop. However, AMD "Ryzen AI 300" Strix Point chips would be out two months before Lunar Lake.
