With the launch of the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor series, they have also shown the arrival of the Intel Arc B390 graphics processing chip which appears on a number of the latest Intel Core Ultra X processor chips.
Recently, several technology news sites that were at the CES 2026 event in Las Vegas had the opportunity to test the capabilities of the processing chip, especially the gaming capabilities of the new built-in graphics chip. As we know, the Intel Arc B390 chip uses the updated Intel Xe3 “Battlemage” chip and comes with a higher number of cores than the previous Intel Arc 140V graphics chip.
The system specifications tested appear to be a Lenovo laptop using the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor chip equipped with 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and PCIe 4.0 storage.
Tom's Hardware tested a number of modern PC games such as Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom: The Dark Ages, F1 2025 and Monster Hunter: Wilds at 1080p and 1200p resolutions with high settings and found that these games can be run at high refresh rates in some games.
Titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 (81.4FPS) and F1 2025 (109.5FPS) recorded relatively high average frame rates, while games such as Doom: The Dark Ages (51.1FPS) and Baldur's Gate 3 (68.4FPS) recorded quite good performance as well.
And more interestingly, this performance is seen using driver software that has not yet been optimized, and it is expected that laptops with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips will start being offered for review around the end of this month.
