About the Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 520 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 520 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 520 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 900 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 520 has the 424th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.24% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon Graphics (128SP) GPU

The AMD Radeon Graphics (128SP) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2022. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Raphael) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Graphics includes 128 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,200 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 2 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

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 Graphics has the 299th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
