About Intel Arc 130T Mobile
Benchmark Performance
The Intel Arc 130T Mobile sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs tracked in the database, placing it squarely in the middle of the performance distribution. The benchmark data shows a GPU with a balanced compute profile rather than one optimized for peak throughput in any single workload. The FP32 throughput of 3.942 TFLOPS provides the baseline for general-purpose rasterization performance, while the FP16 rate of 7.885 TFLOPS (2:1) indicates that half-precision workloads can be processed at double the rate, a characteristic shared with many modern architectures.
The pixel fill rate of 61.60 GPixel/s and texture fill rate of 123.2 GTexel/s are the key metrics for understanding how this GPU handles resolution and texture-heavy scenes. These figures, derived from the 28 ROPs and 56 TMUs respectively, suggest that the Arc 130T Mobile is configured for balanced output rather than extreme fill-rate dominance. The shading unit count of 896, operating at a boost clock of 2200 MHz, produces the observed 3.942 TFLOPS figure. At a base clock of 300 MHz, the GPU idles at a fraction of its peak compute, which has implications for power consumption during light workloads.
The 5 nm process node from TSMC allows this chip to achieve its 2200 MHz boost clock within a 35 W TDP envelope. This combination of process efficiency and clock speed means the Arc 130T Mobile delivers its compute within a power class that suits thin-and-light mobile designs. The FP32 figure of 3.942 TFLOPS positions this GPU in a range where it can handle 1080p gaming at moderate settings, though the data does not include direct rival comparisons to contextualize this score further.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The Arc 130T Mobile includes 7 ray tracing cores, which enables hardware-accelerated ray tracing workloads. The presence of these dedicated cores means the GPU does not rely solely on compute shaders for ray tracing, though the relatively modest count suggests that ray-traced effects will be limited in complexity and resolution. The architecture is Xe-LPG+, which represents Intel's approach to integrating ray tracing capabilities into a mobile graphics solution.
The API support is comprehensive for modern gaming. DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support means the GPU can handle the full feature set of DirectX 12 Ultimate, including hardware ray tracing, variable rate shading, and mesh shaders. Vulkan 1.4 support provides access to the latest cross-platform graphics features, while OpenGL 4.6 ensures compatibility with legacy applications and professional software.
The GPU is built on the Arrow Lake-H chip, which integrates the graphics solution into a broader processor package. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, which provides sufficient bandwidth for the system-shared memory architecture. The memory configuration is entirely system-dependent: the GPU uses shared system memory with no dedicated VRAM, a design choice that simplifies the mobile platform but ties performance to system memory bandwidth and capacity.
How It Comprises
The nearestRivals data is empty in the benchmark database, which means there are no direct competitor comparisons available for this specific GPU in the current database. The percentile ranking of 50th percentile against all GPUs provides a general reference point, indicating that this GPU performs better than half of the tracked GPUs and worse than the other half. This places the Arc 130T Mobile in a mid-range position within the overall GPU landscape.
Without rival data, the assessment must rely on the absolute performance metrics. The FP32 throughput of 3.942 TFLOPS and the memory bandwidth being system-dependent suggest that the Arc 130T Mobile's real-world performance will vary significantly based on the host platform's memory configuration. The 7 ray tracing cores and 896 shading units define the compute envelope, but the lack of a dedicated memory bus width means the GPU is constrained by whatever system memory is available.
The production status is Active, with a release date of January 12, 2025. The predecessor is listed as HD Graphics-M, which indicates a generational leap from Intel's older integrated graphics solutions. The architecture name Xe-LPG+ and the generation "Arc Graphics-M (Arrow Lake)" place this GPU within Intel's current graphics roadmap for mobile processors.
Power and Cooling
The thermal design power (TDP) for the Arc 130T Mobile is 35 W, which is a modest power budget for a mobile GPU. This TDP figure is critical for system integrators and end users, as it determines the cooling solution required and the battery life implications in a mobile device. The 35 W TDP, combined with the 5 nm process node, suggests that the GPU can operate within the thermal constraints of thin-and-light laptops without requiring aggressive cooling solutions.
The slot width is listed as IGP, meaning this is an integrated graphics processor that occupies no expansion slot. This form factor eliminates the need for separate power connectors, as the GPU draws power through the motherboard's power delivery system. The power connectors field is null, which is consistent with an integrated solution that does not require external power cabling. The suggested PSU field is also null, which is expected given that this is an integrated GPU and not a discrete add-in card requiring a specific power supply rating.
The bus interface of PCIe 4.0 x8 provides the data pathway for the GPU to access system memory and communicate with the CPU. In a mobile context, this interface is standard for integrated graphics, balancing bandwidth requirements against power consumption. The display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, meaning the actual video output ports will vary based on the specific laptop design.

The FP32 performance of 3.942 TFLOPS and the pixel fill rate of 61.60 GPixel/s indicate that this GPU can handle 1080p gaming at moderate settings, though users seeking high refresh rates or maximum detail levels would need to consider the system memory configuration, as the GPU relies entirely on shared system memory.
The 7 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support make this GPU suitable for gamers who want access to ray-traced effects without requiring a high-end discrete GPU. However, the modest ray tracing core count and the system-dependent memory bandwidth mean that ray-traced workloads will perform best at lower resolutions and with conservative ray tracing settings.
The 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests that the Arc 130T Mobile is a mainstream solution, not a performance leader. Users who primarily play esports titles or older games will find the 3.942 TFLOPS FP32 compute sufficient for smooth gameplay at 1080p. Users who play demanding AAA titles with high texture quality should temper expectations, as the system-shared memory architecture will be a limiting factor.
The 5 nm process node and 35 W TDP make this GPU well-suited for ultraportable laptops where battery life and thermals are priorities. The IGP form factor and lack of power connectors simplify the system design, making the Arc 130T Mobile an attractive option for thin-and-light devices that still want dedicated ray tracing capabilities. Users who require maximum graphics performance in a mobile form factor should look to higher-TDP discrete GPUs, but for balanced performance within a power-efficient package, the Arc 130T Mobile occupies a sensible middle ground.
