Intel today announced that the latest Arc GPU Graphics Drivers update brings significant performance uplifts to the integrated graphics solution of the company's Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" mobile processors. The processor comes with an iGPU based on the Xe2 "Battlemage" graphics architecture, and depending on the processor model, up to 8 Xe cores, the latest XMX AI accelerators, the company's 2nd generation Ray Tracing Unit, and an 8 MB dedicated last-level cache. When it launched, it was expected that the iGPU of "Lunar Lake" would perform in the league of at least the discrete Arc A380 GPU, but fell slightly behind, probably because the iGPU shares memory bandwidth with the CPU complex and the memory-intensive NPU.
With the latest driver updates, Intel is promising a 10% increase in FPS averaged over a test suite of 9 game titles, but more importantly, a significant 25% increase in 99th percentile performance. The test suite covers titles relevant to this performance class, including Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite, and Payday, but also certain AAA titles, such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth Wukong. Intel recommends the drivers for anyone with a Core Ultra 200V processor model that has either Arc 140V or Arc 130V iGPU models.
The performance uplifts should come especially handy for gaming handhelds such as the latest MSI Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+, which are based on "Lunar Lake" processors. MSI made a bold bet on Intel processors for its gaming handhelds, even as other major OEMs such as ASUS and Lenovo went with the AMD Ryzen Z-series processors purpose-built for the form-factor.
Intel specifies that the performance uplifts should be available from Arc GPU Graphics drivers 101.6734 onward. The latest drivers are 101.6737, which already include the "Lunar Lake" specific performance uplifts.
