About the AMD Radeon HD 7290 GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 7290 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Loveland) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The HD 7290 includes 80 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 280 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 400 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 18 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 7290 has the 541st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the Intel HD Graphics 515 GPU
The Intel HD Graphics 515 is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2015. It is built on the Generation 9.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Skylake GT2) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The HD Graphics 515 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 HD Graphics 515 includes 192 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 800 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 3 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 HD Graphics 515 has the 455th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.97% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
