Gaming and Synthetics on Processor Graphics

Publish date: 2024-06-07

The Haswell Pentium and Celeron ranges are filled with GT1 solutions, referred to as simply 'HD (Haswell)'. The same is true for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, although with Haswell the i3 CPU range upgraded to HD 4400 or HD 4600 - a significant leap in performance.  As the graphics power is low for full 3D titles, and as such we test on lower frequencies, we might see the CPU power matter more here than with our Devil's Canyon review.

CompuBench 1.5

CompuBench is a new addition to our CPU benchmark suite, and as such we have only tested it on the following processors.  The software uses OpenCL commands to process parallel information for a range of tests, and we use the flow management and particle simulation benchmarks here.

The increase in speed due to overclocking only has one effect on gaming using the internal graphics - a slight advantage to minimum frame rates.  Unfortunately the IGP is crippled too much to see any gain in performance for average frame rates and AMD APUs at similar power outputs have up to a 2x advantage.
