About the Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 4600 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2013. It is built on the Generation 7.5 GPU microarchitecture (codename Haswell GT2) and is manufactured on a 22 nm process.

Memory

The HD Graphics 4600 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 4600 includes 160 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 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 45 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 4600 has the 468th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.87% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the Intel UHD Graphics Xe (Tiger Lake, 16EU) GPU

The Intel UHD Graphics Xe (Tiger Lake, 16EU) is an integrated graphics card that launched in 2021. It is built on the Generation 12.1 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tiger Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Memory

The UHD Graphics Xe 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 UHD Graphics Xe includes 128 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,450 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 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The UHD Graphics Xe has the 398th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.58% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
