$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark unigine-valley
The M7 uses Intel’s Arc 140T integrated GPU. Intel lists it with 8 Xe-cores, a 2.35GHz max graphics frequency, DirectX 12.2, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3.0 support. That’s a modern, relatively capable iGPU, not the weak Intel integrated graphics of old.
The Bosgame M7’s Unigine Valley result is better than expected, but it doesn’t necessarily overturn the Radeon 890M’s advantage. The M6 is still faster at 800×600 and ties the M7 at 1080p. What the result shows is that Intel’s Arc 140T in the Core Ultra 9 285H is a genuinely capable modern iGPU. With a higher power envelope, good cooling, and mature driver support, the M7 can match the Radeon 890M in this older OpenGL-heavy benchmark, even though the 890M remains the stronger graphics solution on paper.
I included the i5-12400 system as a discrete-GPU reference point. It isn’t a direct comparison with the mini PCs’ integrated graphics, as that system uses a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but it helps show the gap between the iGPUs and a discrete graphics card. The annotation is important: the i5-12400 result reflects the RTX 3060 Ti, not Intel UHD integrated graphics.
I also ran glmark2, an OpenGL 2.0 and ES 2.0 benchmark on the M6. Here are the results.
