About the Intel Arc Graphics 140T GPU

The Intel Arc Graphics 140T is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2025. It is built on the Xe2-LPG GPU microarchitecture (codename Arrow Lake) and is manufactured on a 3 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Arc Graphics 140T includes 1,024 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 300 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,350 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 128 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 8 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The Arc Graphics 140T has the 175th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF116) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 550M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GT 550M includes 144 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 740 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 550M has the 482nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
