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 Intel Iris Graphics 6100 GPU
The Intel Iris Graphics 6100 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the Generation 8.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Broadwell GT3) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The Iris Graphics 6100 has System Shared of memory. This gives it a memory bandwidth of System Dependent, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Iris Graphics 6100 includes 384 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 300 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,000 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 6 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The Iris Graphics 6100 has the 395th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
