Asus ExpertBook B5 B5605 review: With Arrow Lake and 144 Hz display to the executive floor?
Intel Core Ultra 5 225H | Intel Arc Graphics 130T | 16.00" | 1.7 kg
Intel Arc 130T is the iGPU used in the Intel Arrow Lake H/HX processor series. It is based on the Xe+ architecture (and not the newer Xe2 architecture that e.g. the Arc Graphics 130V in Lunar Lake uses). The graphics adapter features 7 of the 8 cores (112 CUs, 7 Raytracing units) with XMX instructions for improved AI performance.
Thanks to the similar core count and clock speed but higher TDP, the performance should be similar to the Xe2 based Intel Arc 130V iGPU. First leaked benchmarks even showed a vastly better performance. All in all, we think that the Arc 130T will be only suited for entry level gaming in lowest settings.
The Arc 130T is integrated in the H and HX series of CPUs but use an own chiplet that is manufactured at TSMC in 5nm (N5P process).
