Conclusion

Intel Arc 128EU loses to Intel Arc Graphics 140V by a huge margin of at least 26% difference. Arc 140V decimates the old-generation Arc 8 XE cores iGPU due to architecture and faster RAM.

FSR and FG were used in these gaming benchmarks with High settings even then Arc 8-Core iGPU tanked despite having better clock speed and the same amount of shader cores.

Overall integrated Intel Arc Graphics 140v is more powerful and less power-consuming than the Arc 8 xe (128 EU).

FAQs

Is the Intel ARC 140V and Arc 8-Core good for gaming?

Intel Arc graphics 140V is able to play games at 1080p high settings with FSR and FG on some most demanding titles while Arc 8-core tanked.
Arc 140V with med settings at 1080p without FG can run most games at 60FPS while ARC 8-Core or 128Eu may give you 30-45ish FPS.

Which is better Intel Arc graphics 128EU or Intel ARC 140V?

In this test, Intel ARC 140V beats the Arc Graphics 128eu mobile by 26% due to architectural differences and faster RAM.

What are the computing capabilities of Arc XE 128EU and ARC 140V?

Arc 8XE cores 128EU Tflops is 4.5~4.9 TFLOPS while ARC 140V Tflops is 3.9 – 4.19 TFLOPS.
