Intel HD 615
The HD 615 is a GPU from Intel released in 2016. This chip has a bad gaming score with 139 points in our GPU benchmark.
In terms of clock speed, the HD 615 GPU core runs at a frequency of 300 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 850 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.
As for rendering API support, the HD 615 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.
Power and thermals for the Intel HD 615 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 5 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
