Intel HD 500

The HD 500 is an Intel GPU that was released in 2015 September. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 46 points in our PC benchmark.

In terms of clock speed, the HD 500 GPU core runs at a frequency of 200 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 650 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.

As for rendering API support, the HD 500 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

The Intel HD 500 has a TDP of 6W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
