![]() In our extensive tests with games the HD Graphics 4000 was able to beat the HD 6620G in a fast Core i7-3820QM by about 15%. ![]() The IPC (instructions per clock) can therefore be even 2x as fast as with Sandy Bridge and overall up to 60% more performance (3DMark Vantage) should be possible.įirst benchmarks position the HD Graphics 4000 (in a fast quad core desktop CPU) on a level with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and therefore above the AMD processor graphics Radeon HD 6620G. Depending on the processor model, the base and turbo clock rate may differ greatly resulting in different graphics performance of ULV parts compared to high-end desktop and laptop quad-core parts.Ĭompared to the Intel HD Graphics 3000 in Sandy Bridge CPUs, the HD 4000 card was completely redesigned and offers improved DirectX 11 capable shaders, Hardware Tessellation, a dedicated level 3 cache (before the Last Level Cache LLC of the CPU) and DirectCompute support. The base clock can be automatically overclocked using Turbo Boost technology. Sidebar: all the GPU's mentioned in this post are INTEGRATED, except the 9600M GT, yes even the 320M.The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (GT2) is a processor graphics card that is included in the Ivy Bridge processors of 2012 (3rd generation of core, e.g. I believe it will be better based on the improvements made from the HD3000. The HD4000 has to be at the minimum equal to the 320M or better. I was all for bashing Intel before, and I don't doubt if Nvidia was allowed to make iGPU's for the core i architecture, it'd be better, but this is what we have.Ĭomparisons of 320M vs HD3000, they generally trade blows evenly, or the 320M pulls slightly ahead. ![]() I think the stigma of Intel iGPU's are still around, even though for the past year and a half, starting with the HD3000, their iGPU has been acceptable. The reason I put "=/>" between the 320M and HD3000 is because in some benchmarks Intel is actually equal, but for many games, Nvidia still wins. Whenever I switch to the 9600M the laptop starts whining (fans become audible). The 320M actually is almost as powerful as the 9600M, but it's definitely wayyy cooler running and power efficient. ![]() Based on my research on review benching, notebookcheck, and personal experience with a 2009 15 macbook pro and a 2010 13 macbook pro the order of power goes from 9600M GT > 320M =/> HD3000 > 9400M. ![]()
