Intel Arc 140V Mobile vs Intel Arc A380E x2 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc 140V Mobile and the Intel Arc A380E x2. Both entries in the database carry an average benchmark score of 0, and both sit at the 50th percentile against all GPUs. Without direct measurement data, the comparison must rely on the architectural specifications and compute characteristics listed for each part.

The Intel Arc 140V Mobile delivers a pixel rate of 62.40 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 124.8 GTexel/s. The Intel Arc A380E x2 posts a pixel rate of 64.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 128.0 GTexel/s. The A380E x2 leads by 1.60 GPixel/s in pixel throughput and by 3.2 GTexel/s in texture throughput, a margin of roughly 2.5% in each metric. These are modest gaps, indicating nearly identical rasterization capacity on paper.

In raw compute, the Arc A380E x2 reaches 4.096 TFLOPS for FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1). The Arc 140V Mobile reaches 3.994 TFLOPS for FP32 and 7.987 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1). The A380E x2 leads by 0.102 TFLOPS in FP32 and by 0.205 TFLOPS in FP16, again a close margin of approximately 2.5%. The two GPUs share identical shading unit counts at 1024, identical texture mapping unit counts at 64, identical raster operation unit counts at 32, and identical ray tracing core counts at 8.

Clock behavior separates the pair more clearly. The Arc 140V Mobile operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1950 MHz, a wide dynamic range typical of an integrated part. The Arc A380E x2 runs at a fixed 2000 MHz for both base and boost, meaning its sustained clock sits 50 MHz above the 140V's boost ceiling. The A380E x2's fixed clock also eliminates boost variance, so the theoretical peak rates above are achievable on a continuous basis. The 140V Mobile, by contrast, requires boost headroom to reach its listed rates.

Memory architecture presents a fundamental divergence. The Arc 140V Mobile uses system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth, so its performance scales with the host platform's memory configuration. The Arc A380E x2 carries 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering a fixed 186.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The A380E x2's dedicated memory removes reliance on system DRAM and guarantees consistent bandwidth, whereas the 140V Mobile's shared memory model introduces variability that the database records as "System Dependent."

Neither part shows a definitive victory in the absence of benchmark scores. The A380E x2 holds small leads in pixel rate, texture rate, FP32, and FP16, all within a narrow band. The 140V Mobile counters with lower power draw and integrated packaging, but the data does not quantify any performance advantage from those traits. The head-to-head wins counter stands at 0 for both, reflecting the empty benchmark set.

The Verdict

The data indicates the Intel Arc A380E x2 holds a slight but consistent edge across all measured compute and rasterization metrics. It posts higher pixel rate, texture rate, FP32 throughput, and FP16 throughput, with every lead falling between 1.60 GPixel/s and 0.205 TFLOPS. Its fixed 2000 MHz clock removes boost dependency, and its dedicated 6 GB GDDR6 memory with 186.0 GB/s bandwidth provides stable performance independent of system memory. For workloads that demand sustained throughput and predictable memory behavior, the A380E x2 is the stronger choice on paper.

The Intel Arc 140V Mobile, however, operates at a 37 W TDP compared to the A380E x2's 130 W TDP, a difference of 93 W. It integrates directly into the host as an IGP with no power connectors and no slot width, whereas the A380E x2 requires a single-slot card with a 6-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 300 W. The 140V Mobile also carries an Active production status, while the A380E x2 is End-of-life. For a system where power draw and physical integration are primary constraints, the 140V Mobile offers the better fit.

The decision rests on the intended deployment. The A380E x2 delivers marginally higher raw throughput and dedicated memory, making it preferable for fixed installations where power and space are available. The 140V Mobile sacrifices roughly 2.5% of peak compute and raster rates but does so within a 37 W envelope, making it suitable for compact, low-power platforms. The recorded data does not include a decisive benchmark score, so the choice hinges on these specification-level trade-offs.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across several key specification fields. The Arc 140V Mobile uses a 3 nm process node, while the Arc A380E x2 uses a 6 nm node, both produced by TSMC. The A380E x2 lists 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, whereas the 140V Mobile lists an unknown transistor count on a 172 mm² die. The A380E x2 reports a transistor density of 45.9M per mm²; the 140V Mobile does not list a density figure.

Clock speeds diverge sharply. The 140V Mobile has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 1950 MHz. The A380E x2 has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz, meaning no boost variation. Memory differs fundamentally: the 140V Mobile uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, while the A380E x2 uses 6 GB of GDDR6 at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective) on a 96-bit bus with 186.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Power and physical specs separate the parts further. The 140V Mobile has a TDP of 37 W, an IGP slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The A380E x2 has a TDP of 130 W, a single-slot width, a 6-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 300 W. The 140V Mobile uses an IGP bus interface, while the A380E x2 uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs differ: the 140V Mobile is portable device dependent, while the A380E x2 provides 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. The A380E x2 measures 265 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width; the 140V Mobile lists no dimensions.

Release dates differ by roughly six months. The 140V Mobile launched on 2024-09-23, and the A380E x2 launched on 2024-03-31. Production status differs, with the 140V Mobile Active and the A380E x2 End-of-life. The predecessor and successor fields also differ: the 140V Mobile lists HD Graphics-M as its predecessor with no successor, while the A380E x2 lists Xe Graphics as its predecessor and Battlemage as its successor.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different Intel graphics architectures. The Arc 140V Mobile uses the Xe2-LPG architecture on the Lunar Lake chip, belonging to the Arc Graphics-M (Lunar Lake) generation. The Arc A380E x2 uses the Xe-HPG architecture on the DG2-128 chip, belonging to the Alchemist (Arc 3) generation. These architectural lineages target different design goals: Xe2-LPG is optimized for integrated, low-power graphics, while Xe-HPG is built for discrete add-in cards.

Both architectures support the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both also carry identical core counts across shading units, texture mapping units, raster operation units, and ray tracing cores, indicating a shared baseline compute design despite the architectural differences. The process node gap, 3 nm versus 6 nm, gives the 140V Mobile a density advantage, though the A380E x2's dedicated memory and fixed clocks offset some of that benefit in practice.

The A380E x2's 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die produce a density of 45.9M per mm². The 140V Mobile's 172 mm² die with an unknown transistor count prevents a direct density comparison, but the smaller process node suggests higher integration efficiency on paper. The 140V Mobile's system shared memory ties its bandwidth to the host platform, an architectural choice that lowers cost and power but introduces variability. The A380E x2's 6 GB GDDR6 with 186.0 GB/s bandwidth is a fixed resource, independent of system DRAM.

The 140V Mobile's 37 W TDP and IGP form factor align with the Xe2-LPG architecture's focus on efficiency within a mobile or compact system. The A380E x2's 130 W TDP, single-slot design, 6-pin connector, and 300 W suggested PSU align with the Xe-HPG architecture's discrete, performance-oriented positioning. The A380E x2 also provides 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, a multi-display capability that the 140V Mobile cannot match due to its portable device dependent outputs. These architecture-level differences define the practical use cases for each part.
