Intel Officially Introduces Arc B390 Integrated Graphics With AI Frame Generation and Handheld Plans
Intel has formally announced its new flagship integrated GPU, now officially branded as Arc B390 . The company emphasized its long-term commitment to this naming scheme, positioning the Arc label as a key part of its integrated graphics identity.
According to Intel, the Arc B390 delivers up to 73-82% higher average performance than the Radeon 890M found in AMD’s Ryzen HX 370 processors. The company also revealed that this will be the first integrated GPU supporting AI-based multi-frame generation , a technology Intel calls XeS3 . Developers from Battlefield 6 confirmed that the game will include native XeS3 support at launch.
Intel Arc B390 Performance Claims:
- 76% faster than Arc 140T (45W)
- 73% faster than Radeon 890M (53W) (upscaling)
- 82% faster than Radeon 890M (53W) (native rendering)
- 2.6x of Qualcomm 84-100 (50W)

Intel additionally confirmed reports that it is developing a special variant of its processors for gaming handhelds . As you may recall, we have leaked this inforamtion a while ago . While not using the full B390 GPU, these chips will feature a scaled-down version – likely the B380 – with fewer GPU and CPU cores for improved efficiency. Companies such as Acer, MSI, and GPD are already collaborating on early designs, suggesting a growing interest from major handheld makers.

The handheld-focused SKU is described as a cost-effective option that could give AMD’s current offerings some competition in the mobile gaming segment. Further details are expected in the coming months.
