Intel HD 4000 Review

Intel HD 4000 has replaced the HD 3000 integrated GPU in the Ivy Bridge processors. These processors are manufactured with smaller manufacturing process (22nm) and produce much less heat than the previous generation processors.

Intel hd 4000 benchmark

The test was done on our new notebook that came with the Ivy Bridge i7 3820QM processor and 16GB RAM. We are mentioning the CPU here because the performance of the GPU is highly depended on the CPU. The reason is that the GPU clock is set at different speeds in different CPUs. For example: In Core i7 3610QM processor, the CPU and GPU speeds are 2.3GHz (3.3GHz in Turbo mode) and 650MHz (1100MHz in Turbo mode). On the other hand, the speed of CPU and GPU are 2.9GHz (3.8GHz) and 650MHz (1300MHz) respectively.

Intel HD 3000 vs HD 4000: The 4000 GPU now has bigger cache which is shared with the L3 cache. Dual core processors have 3-4MB cache, while the quad core ones have 6-8MB cache memories.
