About the Intel UHD Graphics 730 (Rocket Lake) GPU

The Intel UHD Graphics 730 (Rocket Lake) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2021. It is built on the Generation 12.1 GPU microarchitecture (codename Rocket Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The UHD Graphics 730 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 730 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 1,300 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 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 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 730 has the 323rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.44% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 6550D GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6550D is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Sumo) and is manufactured on a 32 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 6550D includes 400 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 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 65 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 6550D has the 461st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.91% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
