Intel HD Graphics là dòng iGPU [ hay vi xử lý đồ hoạ tích hợp ] của Intel lần đầu được giới thiệu cùng với dòng Core I thế hệ đầu tiên dành cho những mẫu laptop doanh nhân hoặc laptop tầm trung - giá rẻ. Intel HD Graphics là một bước cải tiến so với dòng GPU GMA3100MX hay GMA4500MHD được trang bị cùng với dòng Core 2 Duo cũ . Bằng việc trang bị cùng với CPU , Intel HD Graphics sẽ có nhiệt độ thấp hơn so với card rời vì có hiệu suất thấp do được trang bị lên những mẫu máy giá rẻ . Về sức mạnh , Intel HD Graphics có hiệu suất đạt ngang hàng hoặc hơn nếu so với những mẫu card rời cũ hơn . Ví dụ , Intel HD Graphics 3000 sẽ có hiệu suất hoạt động nhỉnh hơn Nvidia Geforce 330M ... Nhưng yếu tố quan trọng nhất đó là về vi xử lý và RAM . Thường những vi xử lý Core I dòng M sẽ mạnh hơn Core I dòng U về xung nhịp , dòng Celeron , Pentium , Antom sẽ được trang bị iGPU yếu hơn rõ rệt so với dòng Core I 3 , 5 , 7 . RAM cũng là một yếu tố quyết định , thường những dòng Intel HD Graphics ra mắt trước năm 2014 sẽ có RAM Share chỉ là 2GB , nhưng từ 2014 đã có thể share đến 8GB , vì vậy muốn card xử lý tốt hơn chúng ta cần nâng cấp cho laptop ít nhất 2GB RAM . Về so sánh đối với dòng Intel HD Graphics thông dụng dành cho Core I : UHD 630 > UHD 620 > HD 620 > HD 530 > HD 520 > HD 4600 > HD 5500 > HD 4400 > HD 4000 > HD 4200 > HD 3000 . Về so sánh đối với dòng Intel HD Graphics thông dụng dành cho Celeron , Pentium , Antom : UHD 605 > UHD 600 > HD 505 > HD 500 > HD 2500 > HD 2000 . Những lưu ý khi chọn mua laptop có Intel HD Graphics : + Nên chọn từ dòng Core I3 [ tốt nhất dòng M ]
+ Tránh mua máy Notebook nếu có chơi game + Tránh chọn Pentium hay Antom có mã sau nhỏ . + RAM ít nhất 4GB [ có hỗ trợ nâng càng tốt ] + Nếu chơi game nên chọn Core I5 hoặc máy có Intel HD Graphics 4000 trở lên + Tránh mua máy có card Iris Graphics , vì tiền đó đủ để mua máy có card rời .

There is more in it than you think. Intel has always focused on its CPU technology which has made it the undisputed leader in the market. But the GPU has always been the foster child receiving very little love until the introduction of Ivy Bridge. We will see if the latest Haswell chips with the HD Graphics 4600 can compare to the best AMD offers on its APUs.
For the original German review, see here.
Intel IGPs have never been considered suitable for 3D applications and games until recently. The users have been plagued by very low performance with poor driver support making it virtually impossible to play any of the newer games with acceptable graphics quality and framerates.
Things have changed in the last two generations of processors. The introduction of HD Graphics 3000 in the Sandy Bridge architecture was a giant leap from the anemic GPUs in the pre-Arrandale period. This solution was still plagued by poor support for newer graphics technologies. HD Graphics 4000 was another giant leap forward that brought the possibility of gaming. Performance was found to near the lower mid-level discrete solutions from AMD and Nvidia but couldn’t match the IGPs of the best AMD APUs.
With Haswell, Intel tries to take the performance gains another step forward. The best configuration called "GT3e" does not only feature 2.5 times the shader units of the HD 4000, but also an additional eDRAM cache which should decrease the heavy dependence from the RAM interface. However, only the high-end Core i7-4850HQ and i7-4950HQ do use it so far.
We reviewed the "GT2" middle configuration called HD Graphics 4600 which will be used in all quad core CPUs of the MQ series and will focus on its graphics performance in this article. All technical details of the Haswell generation of CPUs and the benchmarks are summarized in a dedicated article for you:
- In Review: Intel Haswell Processors
We used the same test system for benchmarking the HD 4600 as for our CPU measurements in the article about the Haswell architecture. We configured the Schenker W503 [Clevo P150SM barebone] with a Core i7-4930MX, whose graphics unit clocks at 1.35 GHz. Other quad core CPUs with lower GPU clocks or smaller L3 cache will perform slightly worse. In order to also assess the performance of these models, we repeated the synthetic tests with the Core i7-4900MQ [1.3 GHz, 8 MB] and the Core i7-4700MQ [1.15 GHz, 6 MB].
In addition, the test system featured 2x 4 GB DDR3-1600 RAM, a 128 GB mSATA SSD from Samsung, and a 180 W power adapter with sufficient capacity. We deactivated the built-in GeForce GTX 765M in favor of the integrated HD Graphics 4600.
If you are interested in more information about the notebook, the benchmarks with dedicated graphics card, etc., you should take a look at our in-depth review:
- Review Schenker W503 [Clevo P150SM]

Apart from the older 3DMark 06, the fastest version of the HD Graphics 4600 wins all synthetic benchmarks. The slightly lower clocked models whose performance difference conforms to the difference in the clock rate, the GeForce GT 630M and the Radeon HD 7660G are close behind. The maximum performance difference of all GPUs is about 20 percent which is a relatively small difference.
The HD Graphics 4000 of the Ivy-Bridge generation lags slightly behind and is the slowest in all four tests. In the 3DMark11, the new HD 4600 is a whopping 80 percent faster than its predecessor, while its performance gain is significantly lower in the other 3DMark benchmarks. Apparently, the 2011 benchmarks run particularly on the Haswell GPU.
However, synthetic benchmarks like the 3DMark series are hardly appropriate for a realistic evaluation of the performance. Unfortunately special "driver" optimizations are usually used here. Therefore, we tested a selection of the latest games available.
For better overview, we only tested two detail settings. The frame rates of other configurations are listed in a table at the end of this section and are available in our articles dedicated to each graphics card in our database.

First of all, Intel's driver developers deserve praise. All tested benchmarks ran without graphics errors, stability problems, or other abnormalities. This could not always be taken for granted in the past.
We really liked the performance of the HD Graphics 4600. All benchmarks considered, the GPU is, on average, nearly 40% faster than the HD Graphics 4000. To be fair, we have to admit that the slightly lower clock rates of the HD 4000 models in our comparison, and different driver versions have some impact on the result.
Haswell was supposed to make a statement displaying its new prowess in the highly anticipated battle with the AMD APUs. But it was not able to come out of the tussle as the clear victor. The differences are very small. At high graphics settings [which are not always playable] the Radeon HD 7660G is slightly faster than the HD 4600, while the Intel solution performs better with low details and resolutions. This is caused by the significantly slower CPU part of the A10-4600M which sometimes slows down the graphics performance.
The HD 4600 cannot keep up with most dedicated graphics cards. Even the older GeForce GT 630M card’s performance is significantly better in most games. Only GT3 solutions with double the shader units and additional eDRAM-Cache [GT3e] can reach a higher performance level.

Haswell improved the excellent calculation performance of the Ivy Bridge GPU. In the OpenCL based Luxmark it does not only outperform the Radeon HD 7660G, but also the dedicated GeForce GT 630M. But the differences are smaller in ComputeMark. The HD 4600 can only take the lead by a narrow margin here.
We tested the performance in video transcoding by means of the CyberLinks MediaEspresso 6.5 and the short video Big Buck Bunny [H.264, MOV, 1080p]. The performance gain is only small in comparison to the last generation when using the Quick Sync Transcoder and is likely due to the faster CPU in part [see Haswell CPU test] and the slightly higher GPU clock.
Nevertheless, Quick Sync still remains the best method by far for fast video conversion with good image quality and low energy demand. While our test system only needed about 67 W during the Quick Sync conversion, the power consumption increased to about 88 W if the CPU is used instead, although the first method is dramatically faster. AMD’s AVC transcoder also delivers good performance, but is slower than Intel's solution.
If you consider that the HD Graphics 4600 is only the mid-range solution of all the integrated Haswell graphics solutions, the performance is absolutely brilliant. If driver and clock differences are taken into account, it is about 30 percent faster than the HD Graphics 4000. This is fast enough to draw level with the fastest Trinity APU from AMD, the A10-4600M [Radeon HD 7660G]. The recently introduced, but not yet available A10-5750M [Radeon HD 8650] Richland part might perform slightly better than the HD Graphics 4600.
Intel will hardly loose the performance crown of integrated mobile GPUs this year. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 will likely double the raw performance and might even challenge dedicated graphics cards like the GeForce GT 640M. Furthermore, Iris Graphics 5100 and HD Graphics 5000 are two powerful graphics solutions for slim notebooks. However, these models might not be especially inexpensive.
Back to the HD 4600: While its GPU performance might satisfy occasional gamers, this is not enough for more demanding users: For smooth frame rates in all games, you'll need to decrease resolution and details to a minimum in some. Even the older GeForce GT 630M is still faster in most games and ensures that some mid-level dedicated solutions are here to stay for a while longer.

Computers always had an important place in my life, starting with an Intel 80286 microprocessor in the early 1990s. I became interested in the productive side of technology, especially in campus radio, while studying at TU Chemnitz and during a trainee program in Belfast. Hardware interests led me to manage Notebookjournal.de, which is now a division of Notebooksbilliger, for a few years. I became self-employed in 2010 and took the next logical step in my career by starting to write for Notebookcheck.
