Intel has just released the first public driver for Xe2 graphics, an important move as their next generation Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" processors are expected to launch next month.
We've heard through leaks that the Xe2 codenamed "Battlemage" GPUs were to be called the Arc 140V and Arc 130V, and it looks like the leakers were right. Intel's own information shows that the new Arc Graphics 32.0.101.5972 drivers support "Arc 140V" and "Arc 130V" GPUs.
According to the latest leaks, Intel's new Core Ultra 9 and Core Ultra 7 "Lunar Lake" processors will get Arc 140V with 8 Xe2 cores, while Core Ultra 5 SKUs will get Arc 130V with 7 Xe2 cores. The highest Core Ultra 9 288V will have its Arc 140V GPU that boosts up to 2.05GHz, while the lowest Lunar Lake chip will have its Arc 130V integrated GPU that boosts up to 1.85GHz.
The new Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 "Lunar Lake" SKUs will have either 8 or 7 Xe2 cores of the Battlemage GPU, along with either 16GB or 32GB of on-package LPDDR5-8533 memory. The memory is on-package for Lunar Lake, so there are no RAM upgrades for any systems (keep this in mind if you buy a Lunar Lake-powered PC in the future).
