AMD Radeon 860M vs Intel Arc 140T Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an uneven comparison landscape. The AMD Radeon 860M has two benchmark entries: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 22759 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 30043. Its average benchmark score is 26401, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Intel Arc 140T Mobile, in contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile stands at 50. There are no head-to-head benchmark entries, no wins recorded for either side, and no nearest rival data for the Intel part.

The absence of measured scores for the Intel Arc 140T Mobile means a direct numeric comparison cannot be constructed from the database. What can be established is the AMD Radeon 860M's position relative to its nearest recorded rivals. Its average score of 26401 sits 0.1% below the NVIDIA GeForce MX550's 26421, and 0.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060's 26331. It trails the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary's 26553 by 0.6% and the NVIDIA RTX A4000's 26683 by 1.1%. These deltas are narrow, all within a 1.1% band, which indicates the Radeon 860M performs in a tightly clustered range near these discrete and professional GPUs.

The Intel Arc 140T Mobile's percentile of 50, with no scores attached, suggests it ranks at the median of the database's GPU distribution. However, without benchmark values, this percentile cannot be verified against any workload data. The database records no evidence of the Intel part's performance in OpenCL, Vulkan, or any other test. Any interpretation of its standing must rely solely on its architectural and specification profile, which is detailed in later sections.

Architecture Differences

The two integrated GPUs come from different architectural families and process nodes. The AMD Radeon 860M is built on RDNA 3.5, uses the Krackan Point chip, and belongs to the Navi III IGP (Strix Point Mobile) generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc 140T Mobile uses the Xe-LPG+ architecture, is based on the Arrow Lake-H chip, and is part of the Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

Both share the same ray tracing core count at 8, and both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither lists tensor cores. The Radeon 860M's FP16 performance is 3.072 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, meaning it processes half-precision and full-precision at the same rate. The Arc 140T Mobile's FP16 performance is 9.626 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, indicating it doubles its half-precision throughput relative to FP32.

The AMD part's predecessor is the Navi II IGP. The Intel part's predecessor is the HD Graphics-M. The Radeon 860M was released on 2025-02-28, while the Arc 140T Mobile was released earlier on 2025-01-12. Both are listed as Active in production status, and neither has a launch MSRP recorded.

Specification Differences

The specification differences between the two GPUs are substantial. The AMD Radeon 860M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. The Intel Arc 140T Mobile has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. In every one of these execution resource counts, the Intel part doubles the AMD part.

Clock speeds differ in both base and boost. The Radeon 860M runs at 600 MHz base and 3000 MHz boost. The Arc 140T Mobile runs at 300 MHz base and 2350 MHz boost. The AMD part has a higher boost clock by 650 MHz.

The fill rate figures reflect the resource and clock combination. The Radeon 860M delivers a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s. The Arc 140T Mobile delivers a pixel rate of 75.20 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 150.4 GTexel/s. The Intel part is higher in both metrics.

FP32 throughput follows the same pattern: 3.072 TFLOPS for the AMD part versus 4.813 TFLOPS for the Intel part. FP16 throughput is 3.072 TFLOPS for the Radeon 860M and 9.626 TFLOPS for the Arc 140T Mobile.

Power consumption differs significantly. The AMD Radeon 860M has a TDP of 15 W. The Intel Arc 140T Mobile has a TDP of 35 W. The Intel part consumes more than twice the power budget.

The bus interface also differs. The Radeon 860M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The Arc 140T Mobile lists its bus interface simply as IGP. Both use system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, and both have display outputs that are portable device dependent. The Radeon 860M lists no power connectors, while the Arc 140T Mobile lists null for this field. Both are IGP slot width.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon 860M wins where measured performance matters. It has actual benchmark scores in OpenCL and Vulkan, an average score of 26401, and a 72nd percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.1% of its average score, which places it in a competitive cluster that includes discrete-class GPUs. The 860M achieves this at a 15 W TDP, which is the lower power envelope of the two. Its higher boost clock of 3000 MHz and its FP16 1:1 ratio suggest a configuration that handles full-precision and half-precision workloads at equal throughput.

The Intel Arc 140T Mobile wins where raw specification counts dominate. It doubles the shading units, TMUs, and ROPs of the AMD part. It has a higher pixel rate of 75.20 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s, a higher texture rate of 150.4 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s, and a higher FP32 figure of 4.813 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 9.626 TFLOPS is more than three times the AMD part's FP16 figure. These numbers indicate a GPU with greater theoretical throughput capacity, particularly in half-precision work. The Arc 140T Mobile also has a 50th percentile ranking, which, while lower than the AMD part's 72nd percentile, is based on no recorded benchmark scores.

The use cases split along these lines. For applications that depend on verified benchmark results, the database supports the AMD Radeon 860M. For applications that depend on raw execution resources and theoretical throughput, the specification sheet favors the Intel Arc 140T Mobile. The Intel part's 35 W TDP is the cost of its higher resource counts and throughput figures.

The Verdict

The data presents two different kinds of evidence. The AMD Radeon 860M has measurable performance: an average score of 26401, a 72nd percentile placement, and a Vulkan score of 30043 alongside an OpenCL score of 22759. It competes within 1.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, and the NVIDIA RTX A4000. It does so at 15 W TDP, which is the lower power draw of the two integrated GPUs.

The Intel Arc 140T Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores. Its average is 0 and its percentile is 50. What it offers instead is a specification advantage: double the shading units, TMUs, and ROPs, higher pixel and texture rates, and higher FP32 and FP16 throughput. Its FP16 rate of 9.626 TFLOPS is a notable strength for half-precision workloads, and its 4.813 TFLOPS FP32 figure exceeds the AMD part's 3.072 TFLOPS.

A buyer or system designer choosing between these two should consider what evidence matters for the intended workload. If verified benchmark data is the priority, the AMD Radeon 860M is the only one of the two with any. If raw throughput specifications are the priority, the Intel Arc 140T Mobile has the higher numbers across every execution resource and fill rate category. The Radeon 860M's release date of 2025-02-28 comes after the Arc 140T Mobile's 2025-01-12 release. Both remain in active production. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, so no pricing comparison is possible from the available facts.
