About the Intel HD Graphics 530 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 530 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.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD Graphics 530 includes 192 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 950 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 530 has the 419th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 8550G GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 8550G is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2013. It is built on the TeraScale 3 GPU microarchitecture (codename Devastator Lite) and is manufactured on a 32 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 8550G includes 256 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 515 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 660 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 8550G has the 435th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.13% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
