so did you follow the instruction given during the intel upgrade by 
pacman:

------------
This driver now uses SNA as the default acceleration method. You can 
still fall back to UXA if you run into trouble. To do so, save a file 
with the following content as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :
      Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
      EndSection
------------

i did that, and the artefacts are gone.
