Integrated Laptop Graphics Card: Guide & Comparison Chart

If you are buying a laptop for gaming , video editing or 3D design work with NO DEDICATED GRAPHICS… you might come across two laptops around the same price with more or less the same CPU performance but with different INTEGRATED graphics.

A good rule of thumb would be to pick the latest or fastest CPU and that will automatically set you up with the best integrated graphics of the two.

However, it´s always helpful to double check. So I made a graph comparing the performance of all integrated GPUs. I explain how the graph is made, what benchmarks I used later. You can use the table of contents to jump straight into the graphs.

Integrated GPU basics

Now because my website is aimed towards people who are not so computer savy. I’m going to go over some basics about iGPUs so they can accurately get the performance of their iGPU. If you want to see the results and performance comparison chart, use the table of contents to jump into it.

It’s common for integrated GPUs to have the same names but their performance might differe depending on:

• Clock rate: It’s common for integrated GPUs to have higher clock speeds across different laptops.
• Shaders/EUs/Cores: EUs (execution units), shaders and cores are terms meaning “processing units”. The more processing units (regardless of name), the faster the performance of an iGPU.

• Generation: Some integrated GPUs share the same name and maybe even the same clock rate but they are from a different generation. On AMD, its usually labeled as (3000/4000) and Intel uses the CPUs generation name.

List of Laptop Integrated GPUs from AMD & Intel (2018 to present)

What follows is a collection of all integrated GPUs found on 2018-2020 laptops from the Intel Core & Ryzen categories (excluding celeron or other CPUs). The right column includes CPUs were these iGPUs are found.

Laptop Integrated GPU Performance Comparison

To test the relative performance of iGPUs we will use benchmarks.

Benchmarks are just tests to see how well a hardware performs. Now there are several different benchmarks but for this post we will focus on 3D Mark Time Spy benchmarks because:

• Primarily measures how well the GPU handles complex 3D scenes, textures, shading, lighting, and rendering.
• Ignores CPU and other hardware into the results and ONLY FOCUSES on measuring the raw power of the GPU.
• It is ALSO relevant for 3D work & accelerate effects in video editing and photo editing.
• Unlike other benchmarks (3DMark Fire Strike Graphics) it uses DirectX 12  (latest API for the latest games).

 

Note: We will present the results in three parts AMD, Intel and AMD vs Intel because the graph is too big. Note that this should not be the only factor for performance comparison but rather to get an stimate of how much faster is a GPU relative to others. You must take into account other factors which I discuss shortly after.

How were the results obtained?

I took the results for a iGPU at a given clock rate with the specified number of processing units and calculated the median from both notebookcheck and 3DMark website. The median is a much better measurement because unlike the average it’s not influenced by the the outliers (results which are not common.

When there was NO benchmarks for a given GPU (which is usually the case for integrated GPUs running at higher clock speeds or more processing units), I extrapolated the values based on faster clock speeds and lower clock speeds graphics score values.

Note: The performance of each integrated GPU will depend on the power supplied to the CPU (thus the iGPU). Higher power supplied means it can run at higher clock speeds. RAM and the presence of a dedicated GPU can also affect the benchmark scores but we tried to minimize these effects by taking the median and ignoring outliers (systems that scored too high).
