Intel Arc B390 iGPU Gets Sizeable Performance Boost in Linux 7.2 Benchmarks

Intel Arc B390 iGPU performance has improved significantly within Linux 7.2, according to Phoronix benchmarks. While CPU performance stayed consistent, native Linux gaming tests showed gains up to 12%. These enhancements affect both Vulkan and OpenGL rendering workloads, stemming from improved support provided by the Intel Xe Linux kernel driver. This development addresses previous trends where Intel iGPUs were slower to reach Windows-level performance when operating on the Linux platform for gaming handhelds.
