Intel's Core Ultra X9 388H processor, part of the latest XeSS3 AI upscaling technology, has achieved remarkable performance in a recent test. In a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 ultraportable laptop, this chip was able to sustain high frame rates in 'Battlefield 6' at 190 frames per second (fps) on 1080p resolution with high graphics settings.
The primary factor behind this impressive result is Intel's XeSS3 AI upscaling and 4X frame generation technology. While not directly a GPU, it enables the system to produce smooth gameplay without lag. This suggests that even when utilizing an integrated Arc B390 GPU, Intel can deliver a similar gaming experience found on more powerful hardware.
In comparison to other available GPUs like Radeon 890M or Arc 140T, Intel's new B390 GPU offers a substantial performance boost of around 80% and 76%, respectively. The chip appears to be comparable in performance to the mobile RTX 4050 GPU, which is no small feat considering its classification as mid-range.
While not all Core Ultra 3 processors can achieve this level of gaming performance due to varying numbers of Xe GPU cores - only X7 and X9 chips feature the necessary 12 Xe GPU cores. The rest rely on four Xe cores and standard Intel graphics, resulting in significantly lower performance.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5's integrated Arc B390 GPU enables users to enjoy high gaming performance without the need for a dedicated graphics card, showcasing the growing capabilities of Intel's embedded Arc graphics solutions.

, i mean who needs a separate gpu when ur laptop can handle bf6 at 190fps on 1080p? that 80% performance boost is straight fire 
, and its even better than some mid-range mobile gpus like the rtx 4050. i know not all core ultra chips have this tech but still, intel's making waves in the gaming scene

The fact that their new Core Ultra X9 processor can deliver 190 fps on 1080p resolution with high graphics settings is a major win for gaming laptops 
. And the best part is, you don't need a separate GPU to get this performance - the built-in Arc B390 GPU is doing all the heavy lifting 
. I'm curious to see how these chips will hold up in real-world usage and if they'll be able to keep up with the competition 
.
I mean who needs a separate GPU when you can have your processor be that cool? It's like they're trying to outdo AMD and NVIDIA together - but let's be real, this is what we've been waiting for, more options for those on-the-go gaming sessions... or maybe just checking Fortnite in class 
. but seriously, its impressive that intel can offer this level of performance with just an integrated gpu. maybe we're finally seeing the future of gaming tech take shape
