"How far has Intel's embedded Arc graphics come over the years? Enough to let me play Battlefield 6 at up to 190 fps in 1080p, with the graphics settings set to high, all on an unassuming Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5. There was no need for dedicated graphics, just the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H's built-in Arc B390 GPU. There's a catch, of course: Intel's XeSS3 AI upscaling and 4X frame generation is the big reason why I was able to see such high fps figures."
"I was playing Battlefield 6 on a controller, with the Lenovo laptop connected to a TV, and I was surprised by how smooth the gameplay felt. There wasn't any sense of lag like I've seen in earlier frame-gen implementations, though any lag would probably be more noticeable if I was playing with a high DPI gaming mouse. Environmental details, shadows, lighting and particle effects also looked flawless."
"Only the X7 and X9 chips include 12 Xe GPU cores and Arc B390 graphics. Intel claims the B390 is around 80 percent faster than the Radeon 890M, which is built into the Ryzen HX370. Additionally, the company says the new GPU is 76 percent faster than its Arc 140T, and overall it should offer similar performance to the mobile RTX 4050 GPU."
Intel's embedded Arc graphics have reached a level that can run Battlefield 6 at up to 190 fps at 1080p on a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 with high settings, powered by the Core Ultra X9 388H's built-in Arc B390 GPU. XeSS3 AI upscaling and 4X frame generation enable the high frame rates and smooth gameplay, especially when using a controller and TV. Visuals including environmental details, shadows, lighting, and particle effects remained strong. Only Core Ultra X7 and X9 chips include the 12 Xe-core Arc B390; other Core Ultra 3 chips use four Xe cores. Intel positions the B390 near RTX 4050 performance.
