Intel Meteor Lake Arc iGPU Benchmark Score Surfaces and It’s Impressive!
In the past, the integrated GPU performance in Intel CPUs was barelyenoughfor any graphics-intensive workload. However, Intel aims to change things up completely in the new & upcoming Meteor Lake architecture. As if to confirm this, some leaked benchmark scores of an Intel Arc GPU have found their way online.
These scores come from theMSI Prestige 16 AI Evo Laptopthat sports the iGPU. It was first spotted by the X user (formerly Twitter) known as @Benchleaks.[GB5 GPU] Unknown GPUCPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (16C 22T)CPUID: A06A4 (GenuineIntel)GPU: Intel ArcAPI: Open CLScore: 27249VRAM: 6.27 GBhttps://t.co/2zApyiWPm4— Benchleaks (@BenchLeaks)November 15, 2023

This particular laptop has made an appearance previously, too, in the leaked Intel 14th Genlaptop listings, which happened very recently. The leaked OpenCL benchmark can be found here in theGeekbench database. The processor tested was theIntel Core Ultra 7 155H, paired withIntel Arc graphics.
Talking about the score, this specific Intel Arc Graphics variant found on the 155H scored27,249 ptsin the OpenCL test of Geekbench 5. To help you out with some context, we have compared the score against older dedicated GPUs (GTX 10/16 series) from Nvidia and AMD’s highly performant 780M GPU:
This is not a bad score at all, especially for a low-wattage processor. Since this is from an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, the Core Ultra 9mighthave an even stronger Intel Arc GPU. The score achieved here is enough to outperform a very popular mid-range GPU that Nvidia released back in the day, known as the GTX 1050 Ti. With this kind of GPU performance, Intel 14th Gen laptops with Arc graphics aregoing to be quite capable.
Future laptops with onboard Intel Arc GPU and 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU will give yousatisfactory performancein content-creation applications and other GPU-intensive workloads. This GPU won’t be that bad in gaming either, as you can expect it to be decent for light gaming at the very least. We have previously seen Intel show off a demo of the new Arc graphics, where Forza Horizon 5 was maintaining 60 FPS at the Full HD (1920×1080) resolution.
The Radeon 780M is still better, especially if it is present in a laptop with a higher TDP. But, since we don’t know how much the Arc GPU here is pulling in terms of power (W), we cannot make an accurate comparison yet. Hence, the scores of the Radeon 780M (30W) variant were provided. We can see the Intel Arc GPU in 14th Gen Meteor Lake being on par with this specific lower-power variant of the 780M.
Intel is launching its Meteor Lake architecture withvarious innovative featureson its upcoming 14th-generation CPUs very soon. The company’sAI Everywhereevent has already been scheduled for next month. In addition to the GPU, Intel is also bringing a newNPU chipto Meteor Lake. You will be able to monitor NPU usage in the task manager, and it is made solely for AI processing!
Do you find the performance improvement exciting on Intel’s Arc GPU that will be present on 14th Gen Meteor Lake processors? This was a much-needed upgrade, and it really makes you take the word ‘integrated GPU’ more seriously. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
