About the AMD Radeon HD 6520G GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6520G is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q4 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Sumo) and is manufactured on a 32 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 6520G includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 6520G has the 519th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 7480D GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7480D is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q4 2012 with a MSRP of $53. It is built on the TeraScale 3 GPU microarchitecture (codename Scrapper Lite) and is manufactured on a 32 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 7480D includes 128 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 614 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 724 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The HD 7480D has the 508th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.55% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 580 score and $53 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 10.94. This is the 98th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
