About the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the Generation 7.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Ivy Bridge GT2) and is manufactured on a 22 nm process.

Memory

The HD Graphics 4000 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 4000 includes 128 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 650 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,050 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 2 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The HD Graphics 4000 has the 513th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.50% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the Intel HD Graphics 500 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 500 is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2015. It is built on the Generation 9.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Apollo Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The HD Graphics 500 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 500 includes 96 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 200 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 2 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 6 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 500 has the 521st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.46% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
