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.
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.
