Intel HD Benchmark and Specs

Intel HD

The HD is an Intel GPU that was released in 2015 January. This GPU is average at gaming with a score of 2939 points in our PC benchmark.

In terms of clock speed, the HD GPU core runs at a frequency of 100 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 800 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 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.4 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 6W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
