Intel HD 520

Thanks to our GPU Benchmark, we have measured the Intel HD 520 as a bad gaming performer a score of 2%.

In terms of clock speed, the HD 520 GPU core runs at a frequency of 300 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 900 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the HD 520 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

The Intel HD 520 has a TDP of 15W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
