Intel Arc B390 12 Xe3 Panther Lake iGPU

The Intel Arc B390 (or Arc Pro B390) is the most powerful integrated graphics unit in the Intel Panther Lake SoC series and offers 12 Xe3 cores. These correspond to 96 CUs and 1,536 ALUs.
Performance
In synthetic benchmarks such as 3DMark Steel Nomad, the Arc B390 reaches the level of an RTX 2060 Laptop GPU, but remains significantly behind a modern RTX 4050 Laptop GPU. In our gaming benchmarks, however, the B390 remains significantly behind the 2060 Mobile at relevant settings. The fast AMD Radeon 8050S (Strix Halo) is also significantly faster. The older Intel Arc 140T (Arrow Lake) is left significantly behind (e.g. by 75% in games).
Furthermore, performance depends heavily on the cooling and the guaranteed TDP limit. However, even in demanding games such as Anno 117 or The Outer Worlds 2, the performance should be sufficient for playable frame rates at low settings.
Features
The new media engine now supports AV1 encoding and decoding, VVC decoding, AVC 10-bit, and eDP 1.5. The iGPU benefits from support for fast LPDDR5-9600 (up to 96 GB) or DDR5-7200 (up to 128 GB) via a dual-channel memory controller.
The chiplet is manufactured by TSMC using the modern N3E process.
