About the Intel UHD Graphics (Alder Lake, 64EU) GPU

The Intel UHD Graphics (Alder Lake, 64EU) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the Generation 12.2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Alder Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Memory

The UHD Graphics 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 includes 512 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 1,400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 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 UHD Graphics has the 254th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 7970M X2 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7970M X2 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Wimbledon) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The HD 7970M X2 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,200 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 153.6 Gb/s, 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 7970M X2 includes 1,280 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 850 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 200 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7970M X2 has the 168th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
