The rise of graphics solutions on Intel processors should mark a significant step forward.
Introduced at Computex in early June, then more precisely over the summer, Intel's Lunar Lake architecture has become a reality, with the first notebooks coming out in August and, more importantly, September. A logical evolution of Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake offers a significant increase in power, particularly in graphics, with a more muscular solution that allows you to do without a dedicated graphics card, video games aside... although. Lunar Lake is not the end of the road for Intel, however, and a new generation of notebook chips is already on the horizon.

The Digital Trends site relays a tweet from Michael (@miktdt) who spotted the existence of a new Intel graphics solution called Arc 140T in the GFXBench databases. Digital Trends considers it highly unlikely that this is a reference for a dedicated graphics card, and more likely that this Arc 140T is the integrated graphics solution for future Arrow Lake-H/HX processors aimed at the notebook market. In fact, the Arc 140T would be the sequel to the Arc 140V found on Lunar Lake chips... but a much stronger sequel, if the measurements posted on GFXBench are to be believed.
In fact, on this basis, the Arc 140T is compared to two Arc 140Vs found on chips used in notebooks such as the popular ASUS Zenbokk S14. Two versions of the Arc 140V are thus contrasted with the Arc 140T: one with 8 GB of memory and the other with 16 GB, with the Arc 140T of course backed up by 16 GB of memory. Well, with 11,056 images and an average of 178.3 fps, the Arc 140T dominates the Arc 140V + 16 GB (6,839 images and 110.3 fps) by 62%. Of course, the version with only 8 GB is even further behind (6,613 images and 106.7 fps). Of course, this is just one measurement from a single test, but the gap is big enough to suggest that laptops equipped with Arrow Lake-H/HX could well be very interesting from a graphics point of view.
