Displays can be connected via DP 1.2 / eDP 1.3 (max. The revised video engine now decodes H.265/HEVC completely in hardware and thereby much more efficiently than before. Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the HD Graphics has to access the main memory (2x 64bit DDR3L-1600 / DDR4-2133).ĭepending on various factors like memory configuration, the HD Graphics should perform similar to the older HD Graphics 4200 and will handle only some older and less demanding games in lowest settings. This "GT1" version of the Skylake GPU offers 12 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at up to 800 MHz (depending on the CPU model). In most CPUs, this GPU was named Intel HD Graphics 510 or Intel HD Graphics 515 (see both pages for benchmarks and information). The Intel HD Graphics (Skylake) (GT1) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in low-end ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors of the Skylake generation.
Intel HD Graphics (Skylake) ► remove from comparison In comparison, when we activated the dedicated GeForce 940M, the GPU part needed 0.4 Watt and the whole CPU 29 Watt. Running World of Warships in high details, 9.6 Watt were used by the graphics card (whole CPU needed 41 Watt).
Idle on the Windows desktop the HD 5600 needed on average 0.04 Watt. We tested the power consumption of the GPU with HWInfo sensors in a Core i7-5600HQ (MSI GP62). The whole Broadwell chip is specified at 47 W TDP (i7-5700HQ) and therefore best suited for notebooks 14-inches in size and above. Thanks to its improved architecture and the additional EUs, the HD Graphics 5600 is about 20 percent faster than the Haswell-based HD 4600 (20 EUs), but still somewhat slower than dedicated low-end GPUs like a GeForce 920M or Radeon R7 M360. Most games as of 2014/2015 will be playable only in low settings (and sometimes not even that). Up to three displays can be connected via DP 1.2/eDP 1.3 (max. The video engine is now able to decode H.265 using both fixed function hardware as well as available GPU shaders. Beyond that, there is also a low-end variant (GT1, 12 EUs) as well as higher-end models (GT3/GT3e + eDRAM, 48 EUs).Īll Broadwell GPUs support OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12 (FL 11_1). The HD Graphics 5600 represents the mid-range version of the Broadwell GPU family and consists of one slice with 24 EUs. Combined with other improvements such as larger L1 caches and an optimized frontend, the integrated GPU has become faster and more efficient than its predecessor. Three subslices form a "slice" for a total of 24 EUs. Inter alia, the shader arrays called "subslice" have been reorganized and now offer 8 Execution Units (EUs) each. 1050 MHz with Turbo Boost).īroadwell features a GPU based on the Intel Gen8 architecture, which has been optimized in various aspects compared to the previous Gen7.5 (Haswell). It can be found in standard voltage CPUs (47 W) and offers 24 EUs (Execution Units). The clock range may depend on the model it is built into ( Core i7-5700HQ: max. The Intel HD Graphics 5600 (GT2) is an integrated graphics card of the Broadwell generation. Intel HD Graphics 5600 ► remove from comparison
