cyrusfox This article is misleading. The Furmark 2 results show that the B370 and 140T perform almost identically. There is no meaningful difference, so the claim that the B370 is "behind" the 140T does not hold up. While the A380 based on Alchemist appears stronger in synthetic benchmarks, I bet the B370 will surpass it in actual performance, even though the A380 uses 8 Xe Cores compared to just 4 in these newer iGPUs. The real question is who is fabricating these GPU dies, TSMC or Intel, and on what process node. From what I can see, the B370 is made on Intel 3 (link) and the 140T and 140V are on TSMC N3. This is probably the best comparison we will see of node versus node performance between TSMC and Intel . It looks like they are about tied, but TSMC might have a slight edge unless the result is due to the integrated memory module on Lunar Lake. If that is the case, I would argue they are matched. I am looking forward to Panther Lake launch and more disclosures on performance. The 4 Xe3 cores look strong even on the B370. Reply
Giroro NGL, I had no idea that FurMark was actually used as a benchmark, or that it even had "scores". I always thought of it more of a power virus and/or GPU burn-in test. Reply

igor002020 Looks like 140v and A380 scores in X post are plain wrong. As per following chart, 140v hits ~1400 points while A380 around 1800 points. https://geeks3d.com/20250113/furmark-2-benchmark-charts-for-p1440-scores/ Reply
George³ As it is clear that there is a separate media engine, xe³ will likely be used exclusively for gaming. This may allow for higher performance for that purpose and match, if not surpass, the previous general-purpose graphic variant? Reply

Intel split the Display and Media Engines off of the Graphics Tile back with MTL and every tile based CPU since has been the same way so this aspect changes nothing. Reply
