Now the processor has a graphics core. Processors with integrated graphics: AMD Fusion versus Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium. Few recreated graphics

Hello, fellow hobbyists and computer enthusiasts. Today we are talking about the fact that integrated graphics in the processor is now in great demand and is considered an alternative to discrete or current video cards.

If it fades from the point of view of the engineering concept, the built-in graphics core is widely used in their products by Intel and AMD, not without exception. This is a video chip that was integrated into the CPU architecture to implement the basic requirements of a discrete device. Well, let's look into everything more thoroughly.

From this article you know:

History appeared

Companies first began to introduce the chart in power plants in the mid-2000s. Intel began its development with Intel GMA, the technology was weak for itself, and was unsuitable for video games. As a result, the famous HD Graphics technology is born (currently the newest representative of the line is HD Graphics 630 on the eighth generation Coffee Lake chips). The video core debuted on the Westmere architecture, in the warehouse of Arrandale mobile chips and Clarkdale desktop chips (2010).

AMD took a different route. The company immediately bought ATI Electronics, since it was a cool video card manufacturer. Then we began to sit on the power of AMD Fusion technology, creating the power of the APU - a central processor with an integrated video core (Accelerated Processing Unit). The first generation chips debuted in the warehouse of Liano architecture, and then Trinity. Well, the Radeon r7 series graphics have been registered in the warehouse of mid-class laptops and netbooks for quite some time.

Advantages of making decisions in games

Otje. Why do you need an integrated card and what are its functions compared to discrete ones?

We will try to elucidate the explanations of the skin position, making everything as substantiated as possible. Of course, perhaps, with such characteristics as productivity. We will look at and review the most relevant solutions at the moment from Intel (HD 630 with a graphics acceleration frequency of 350 to 1200 MHz) and AMD (Vega 11 with a frequency of 300-1300 MHz), as well as the advantages that give this is a decision.
Let's take a look at the system's quality. The built-in graphics allows you to save a lot on the purchase of a discrete solution, up to $150, which is critically important when creating the most economical PC for office and workplace.

The frequency of the AMD graphics processor is noticeably higher, and the productivity of the adapter is significantly higher, which can be said about the current performance in the same games:

As you can see, Vega 11 is the best choice for inexpensive “gaming” systems, and the adapter’s performance in some cases reaches the level of the new GeForce GT 1050. It performs well in most of the battles.

At the moment, only the AMD Ryzen 2400G processor is supplied with this graphics, but without any doubt.

Option for office work and home work

How do you most often access your PC? If you turn off the graphics, you will see the following set of parameters:

• watching movies in HD and videos on Youtube (FullHD and in rare cases 4K);
• robot with browser;
• listening to music;
• chatting with friends or colleagues using instant messengers;
• development of supplements;
• office work (Microsoft Office and similar programs).

All these points work perfectly with the built-in graphics core at resolutions up to FullHD.
One nuance that needs to be taken into account is the support of the video outputs of the motherboard on which you are going to install the processor. Please clarify this point later so that problems do not arise in the future.

Few recreated graphics

The fragments have been sorted out with their advantages, but it is necessary to process the shortcomings of the solution.

• The main disadvantage of such a turn is productivity. So, you can, in good conscience, play most casual games at low and high settings, but graphics lovers will definitely not enjoy this task. Well, if you work with graphics professionally (processing, rendering, video editing, post-production), and also on 2-3 monitors, then the video type integration is definitely not for you.

• Point number 2: the availability of wet memory (in current cards there are GDDR5, GDDR5X and HBM). Formally, a video card can be equipped with up to 64 GB of memory, but will all the stars be there? That's right, operationally. This means that it is necessary to set up the system in such a way that there is sufficient RAM for both work and graphics tasks. Be assured that the speed of current DDR4 modules is much lower than GDDR5, and more will be spent on data processing.
• The next shortcoming is thermal imaging. Another layer of moisture in the kernels appears during the process, which, in theory, warms up the kernels no less. You can cool all this stuff with a boxed (complete) turntable, but be prepared for periodic decreases in frequencies in especially folding containers. Buying a larger cooler will pose a problem.
• Well, the last nuance is the impossibility of upgrading video without replacing the processor. In other words, in order to update the built-in video core, you will literally have to buy a new processor. It's a dubious benefit, isn't it? In such a situation, it’s easier to get a discreet emergency solution within ten hours. Virologists want AMD and nVidia to demonstrate their innovative solutions with great gusto.

pouches

Graphics have been added - an advanced version in 3 types:

• you need a time-clock video card, there are still a few pennies left over;
• the system was initially conceived as extra-budgetary;
• You are creating a home multimedia station (HTPC), with the main focus being on the built-in kernel.

Apparently, one problem in your head has become less, and now you know why manufacturers create their APUs.

In the following articles we will talk about such terms as virtualization and more. Follow to stay up to date with all the latest topics related to the climb.

In addition, a graphics processor plays an important role both for gamers and for hard-core gamers.

This contains a lot of games, movies, watching videos on the Internet and images.

Robot principle

The graphics processor is integrated into the computer's motherboard - this is what the built-in graphics processor looks like.

As a rule, you will need to use it to determine the need to install a graphics adapter.

This technology helps reduce the quality of the finished product. In addition, due to their compactness and low power consumption, such processors are often installed in laptops and light-duty desktop computers.

Thus, new graphics processors have filled this niche of desktops, so that 90% of laptops in US stores have such a processor.

Instead of the primary video card in built-in graphics, the computer's RAM itself often serves as an additional means.

True, such a solution greatly limits the productivity of the device. After all, the computer itself and the graphics processor share one bus for memory.

So this kind of “judgment” is indicated in the battlefield, especially when working with complex graphics and during the game process.

see

The graphics are created into three groups:

1. Graphics with memory is a device based on a main processor that manages RAM. This significantly changes productivity, improves the energy saving system, but reduces productivity. Obviously, for those who work with complex programs, graphics processors of this type are not suitable for great flexibility.
2. Discrete graphics - video chip and one or two video memory modules soldered on the system board. This technology can significantly reduce image clarity, and it is also possible to work with trivial graphics with the best results. True, you will have to pay a lot for it, and if you expect a high-power processor in all respects, then the performance can be extremely high. In addition, the cost of electricity is increasing more and more - the energy consumption of discrete graphics processors is higher than ever.
3. Hybrid discrete graphics - a combination of two advanced types, which is ensured by the creation of a PCI Express bus. Thus, access to the memory is possible both through the unsoldered video memory and through the operational memory. To achieve this decision, the developers wanted to create a compromise solution, but there are still some shortcomings.

Virobniki

As a rule, large companies are engaged in the production and development of integrated graphics processors, but they also connect to this area and a lot of small enterprises.

It’s not easy to get started. Find the words Primary Display or Init Display First. If you don’t think so, look for Onboard, PCI, AGP or PCI-E (all of them are due to the buses installed on the motherboard).

By selecting PCI-E, for example, you turn on the PCI-Express video card, and turn on the integrated one.

Therefore, in order to enable the integrated video card, you need to know the relevant parameters in the BIOS. Often the switching process is automatic.

turn on

It is easier to make connections in BIOS. This is the simplest and least obvious option that is suitable for almost all PCs. Blame it on some laptops.

Again, you can find Peripherals or Integrated Peripherals in the BIOS if you are working on the desktop.

For laptops, the name of the function is different, and not entirely the same. So it’s easy to find out what to do with the schedule. For example, the required options may be located in the Advanced and Config sections.

Connections are also carried out in different ways. Sometimes you just have to click “Disabled” and put the PCI-E video card first in the list.

If you own a laptop, don’t complain that you can’t find a suitable option; a priori, you may not have such a function. For all other devices, the rules are simple - without looking at the BIOS itself, the filling is the same.

If you have two video cards and they show up in the device manager, then the right thing is quite simple: click on one of them with the right side of the mouse and select “turn on”. However, be careful that the display may go dark. Well, whatever the case, so be it.

However, the problem has been solved. Dosit rezavantazhit your computer or something else.

Make all future settings on a new one. If you don’t use this method, you can restore your activities in a safe mode. You can also access it the previous way - through the BIOS.

Two programs - NVIDIA Control Center and Catalyst Control Center - configure the video adapter.

It is most inflexible when aligned in two other ways - the screen is unlikely to turn on, and you won’t be able to change the settings through the BIOS.

For NVIDIA, all settings are located in the 3D section.

You can select the appropriate video adapter for both your entire operating system and your favorite programs.

In Catalyst software, an identical function is provided in the “Harvest” option in the “Switchable Graphics” sub-item.

Thus, switching between graphics processors is not particularly difficult.

Using different methods, either through programs or through the BIOS, installing both sleep mode and other integrated graphics can be accompanied by certain glitches associated with the images.

It may go out or there will simply be confusion. There is no need to click on the files themselves on the computer, no matter what you clicked in the Bios.

In fact, new graphics processors are costing money due to their low cost and compactness.

For this you will have to pay equal to the productivity of the computer itself.

For some, integrated graphics are simply necessary - discrete processors are ideal for working with trivial images.

Moreover, the leaders of the industry are Intel, AMD and Nvidia. They sell their graphics processors, processors and other warehouses.

The remaining popular models are Intel HD Graphics 530 and AMD A10-7850K. They are functional, but there may be some flaws. Zokrema, which is carried out until strength, productivity and the quality of the finished product.

You can turn on or turn on a graphics processor with an installed core either independently through BIOS, utilities and various programs, or the computer itself can do it for you. Everything depends on what video card is connected to the monitor itself.

A video card (also often called integrated or “onboard”) is a part of the computer’s system logic chipset (part of the chipset). The installed video card is usually located in the middle of the microcircuits of the “primary bridge”.

Don’t brag if you don’t yet fully understand what is going on (such as “bridges”, etc.) We will talk more about information about motherboard devices in the following sections. Until then, the video card has been installed. The photo shows a typical example of integrated video on the motherboard.

Here we have the number “1” and the meaning of this secret “spiritual place”. As you can see, there is nothing special in it: a large microcircuit, under the cover of which a video card is installed (in addition to everything else). The marking of the chipset (writing on the new one) may be completely different, depending on the manufacturer. In this case, it is important that this microcircuit was released by the company "SIS" below - the serial number and model.

Note: In modern computers, chipset microcircuits are often covered with radiators to dissipate heat. So it’s not so easy to marvel at the branding.

Under the number “2” in the photo we have a processor socket (all in the boxes under the processor “legs”). The number “3” indicates two roses under the module.

Now let's see what features the video card comes with. Let's look at this point later in the report. What is missing from two different types of video cards: integrated and external (discrete)?

Axis value: the current card can be replaced with a larger new one. All current external video cards run harder and have a more productive graphics core, covered with a high-performance cooling system. Use your own memory (solder it on the video card itself), and the memory is slower, less operative. Also - a high-speed data transfer bus, the characteristics of which depend on the type of connector for connecting the video card to the motherboard (PCI, AGP, PCI-Express, etc.). Discrete solutions are also equipped with different outputs for connecting monitors and TVs.

A video card has been installed - an unknown part of the system logic set of the motherboard chipset, which cannot be replaced (at least by replacing the chip itself). The video has been introduced, for the reasons, it is much less productive than its discrete analogue. Some of these video cards are inexpensive office computers that do not require a powerful graphics processor.

The installed video card does not use its own RAM, but uses the memory installed on the motherboard. Data - additional reduction in speed code (data from the video card is transferred to the main memory controller, then to the computer memory itself, and then to the central processor for processing). In short, apparently - a long story! :) So, they are transmitted not via a special data bus, but via a hidden system bus on the motherboard, which further reduces the speed of the speed code of such systems.

The integrated solution places on the rear of the system unit one standard VGA connector for connecting a monitor or TV (in current models there are examples that also have a digital DVI / HDMI connector).

In the photo, under the number “1” there is a video output, which is equipped with the built-in video card. Under the number “2” is one of the video outputs of a discrete video card (located on the side of the expansion card).

As we already guessed, a video card was installed - the share of average-duty office computers. You will not be able to run a computer game with realistic trivial graphics and folding effects on such a card. More precisely: you can launch it now, under the singing conditions, otherwise the axis will “galmuvati” there will be - godless! Do you need this? Better yet, if you can’t live without gambling, add a good graphical way to save dollars for 150-200 and you’ll forget about this problem for a very long time :)

For example, on good motherboards, which, in the opinion of the manufacturer, will be used in multimedia gaming configurations, the required video cards are not installed (and that’s right, they will still be needed there, since they will not be in ikoristovuvati?).

How do you know if you have any videos? A - for an eye :) Once again, it is important to look at the back wall of the system unit (photo above), note how the connector is numbered “1”, and how the connector is numbered “ 2 "? Now it’s time to realize that the case is insightful and “look” at how the new motherboard has been rebuilt (in parallel with the core), obviously, and the VGA output of the integrated video - that’s it.

Now we notice the number “2” - the orientation is perpendicular to the motherboard - just like when an external (discrete) video card is installed in the graphics card slot.

The motherboard, in fact, is missing a number of additional elements: forming voltages, smoothing and filtration systems (capacitors, chokes), elements that are responsible for starting the board and controlling it temperature (multicontroller). All main controllers and microcircuits are collected in one APU chip.

The axis of this magician is a chip with a cooling system:

Obviously, such a design provides minimal time delays in the transmission of data flows between highly overcharged nodes. And this, in its turn, will ensure that these installed video cards will have terrible productivity. We can say this: the installed graphics core in Sandy Bridge has the same productivity as the original cob, and even more. And, of course, - hardware support for video streaming in HD quality! :)

I would like to add a small remark: with the traditional approach, it is important that a video card is installed every day, you cannot work closely with the current one, neither expand nor add its functionality. Either one or the other. If it is detected that the video card is installed, it is simply turned off.

Ale, as it seems, there is no rule and blame. Our selection includes laptops with two video cards. First and foremost, as a rule, is the "Intel HD" modification. Another option is to install a stronger video card from “AMD” or “NVidia”. It is included in the work if the first (integrated) video card is “not heavy”. In trivial games, for example.

Are you powering up, why not install one heavy-duty video card, which will deal with all the problems? What about energy consumption? This is a laptop, it is important for me to use the battery for as long as possible, and a powerful video card and energy reserves are abundant. The Axis and the producers made such a compromise. While you are working, images are displayed on the screen using an economical Intel video card. We launched the game, turning on the powerful 3D-GPU from “AMD” or “NVidia”, and then turning on the main thing.

But here, again, video cards work one after the other, even though they have begun to communicate with each other automatically and without re-installation. As a matter of fact, the work with built-in and discrete video cards began with the emerging NVidia Optimus technology. It has an installed Intel video card that does not turn on, but provides its own frame buffer for discrete video. This is how I describe the axis. The current NVidia card forms the images and “stores” the frame buffer of the inserted card, and it takes on the burden of displaying the image on the screen.

So, if you have a dedicated discrete video card on your laptop, and the 3D graphics are very annoying, the laptop will first of all interfere with it. It might be that weak Intel is trying to do 3D processing, but it still won’t work out.

Good day, friends.

The topic of our current development will be the graphics core in the processor - what it is and when it is being researched. This article is especially relevant for those who choose between an integrated or discrete video card or simply confuse the image pixels.

clarification understanding

There is already an article on my website about those who do this. Ale not varto confuse these nuclei with tsim. Now let's talk about the schedule. Vaughn will not be in the skin. There are more different types of them.

I will try to explain the yakomag in a simpler way.

These devices combine simultaneously the functions of the processor, which processes all computational data, and the video card, which is responsible for creating images on your monitor.

You can also retain the designated chip as an IGP. This is an abbreviation for “Integrated Graphics Processor”.

Is it possible to unite with the vidya in the middle?

To do this:

• The speed of energy gain is not only due to the fact that low-pressure devices are less likely to eat on their own, otherwise they may still smell and need to be slightly refrigerated;
• Make the hardware more compact;
• Change PC settings.

Before speaking, when the producers only began to practice the integration of devices, the stinks instilled a graphical core directly into.

It is increasingly popular to combine them with central processors in order to maximize the functionality of the motherboard. Before that, for the sake of change, it is now possible to work with devices of the same size, but with greater difficulty.

minuses

We will take into account the advantages of graphics cores. Now let's talk about the shortcomings.

What is striking in terms of the clarity of the images that are displayed on the screen is discrete, as they are independent devices created specifically for this purpose.

Their own blueprints and kernels do not require such powerful resources. Zokrema, I won’t kill the stench of Vikorists, I’ll kill my operational memory, but I’ll hide it. It’s also easy to tinker with one data bus. This, of course, reduces the speed of the entire computer, which reduces the performance of the CPU.

Where are the graphics cores used?

Looking at the description of the pros and cons, integrated controllers are most often found in laptops and inexpensive desktop computers. This solution is ideally suited for office PCs where high graphics intensity is not required and productivity is accelerated.

Even if you pay for clear pictures and more realistic games, it’s still better to buy discrete models. There is a problem with the RAM, the cooling system and the data bus, which may require much tighter integration.

Note

I want to make it clear that if you want to increase the productivity of your chip with a new graphics core by purchasing an external video card, you will waste a lot of money. Pratsyuvatime either the same or the other.

True, there is a switch-off - the laptop has two video devices. The main one is the Intel HD model. And if she can’t cope, she can help with a powerful device from AMD or NVidia. This solution allows you to instantly enjoy clear graphics and reduce energy consumption. So, the heavy device prefers to surf the Internet or work with office programs.

Subscribe to updates so as not to miss new interesting information.

Intel processors, like their competitors, have integrated graphics. This allows you to consider buying an expensive video card, since there is no need for it. Corrisna graphics are also built into the processor in laptops, as this allows you to save battery power by using graphics only in the future. For the rest of the hour, the graphics core of the processor is exhausted.

Enter

The choice of graphics used is given special attention in 2 types:

• You don't want to buy an extra adapter because you don't need high performance for your desktop PC

Basically, these two situations confuse people with special respect for integrated graphics.

Here, as in our other articles, the chips will not be reviewed until the 2010 issue. Which means we're talking about Intel HD Graphics, Iris Graphics and Iris Pro Graphics

The foolish ones are deprived of power for installing built-in graphics in heavy-duty game processors, even if they are paired with a heavy-duty video card, which is not suitable for the heavy-duty built-in graphics. Most of the time, it is necessary to re-install the folded processor lines through the road, and the cores of many chips are identical and collected, however, no one can change the assembly for a couple of models. Otherwise, in such a situation, we would lose great productivity due to the fact that more transistors would be used on the processor, otherwise the price in such a situation would rise.

Everyone knows that AMD's graphics may be lower than Intel's. This is all due to the fact that they previously thought about creating hybrid “stones” (with a video core). If you want to know about the markings and lines of all AMD graphics (including the built-in ones), then a similar article about it is also available upon request.

Just a fact: in PS4, graphics are integrated into the processor, and not a separate graphics chip.

Classification

The reason why people are allowed to remain anonymous lies in the fact that the graphics are integrated - but the graphics core is not necessarily built into the processor. Integrated graphics are graphics that are built into the motherboard or processor.

Thus, the graphics introduced are divided into:

• Graphics from memory - these graphics are loaded into the processor and the video memory instead of the adjacent video memory. These chips suffer from low energy consumption, heat output and heat output, but 3D performance is not comparable to other solutions.
• Discrete graphics - the hardware is a single chip on the motherboard. It has a rounded riddle and, as a rule, the lower, front type.
• Hybrid graphics are a combination of two advanced types.

Now we realize that in Intel chips the graphics and memory stagnate.

generation

Intel HD Graphics first appeared in Westmere processors (and before that, graphics were introduced).

To maximize the productivity of the video processor, you need to look at the skin generation. The best way to measure productivity is to look at the number of final blocks and their frequency.

These are the generational graphics:

De Graphics is replaced by *.

Since it has become important to learn about microarchitectures themselves, then you can look at this.

The letter index P means that we are talking about the Xeon processor (server chips).

Each generation up to Skylake has the HD Graphics model, and these models come in one type. After Westmere, HD Graphics are no longer installed in Pentium and Celeron. And it is possible to introduce alongside HD Graphics in mobile processors Atom, Celeron, Pentium, which are based on mobile microarchitecture.

Until recently, mobile architectures have only accepted the latest HD Graphics models, as well as various microarchitectures. Graphics of different generations vary in productivity, and the same generation is indicated in the arms, for example Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail). Now, with the release of the new 8th generation, integrated graphics will also be disrupted. Thus, HD Graphics 400 and 405 differ in terms of productivity.

In the middle of one generation, productivity increases at higher rates, which is logical.

Since the Haswell generation, a new labeling of chips has begun.

New marking with Haswell

Persha digit:

• 4 - Haswell
• 5 - Broadwell

But this rule has its own faults, and in several rows below everything is explained.

Other numbers are used in the following meaning:

* - means that the thousand place increases by one

GT3e upgrades the additional eDRAM cache for increased memory capacity.

Since the Skylake generation, the classification has changed again. The breakdown of models by productivity can be found in one of the previous tables.

The connection between the processor labeling and the graphics introduced into the new one

The following letters mark the axis of processors with the features of embedded graphics:

• P - means the video core is enabled
• C - integrated graphics for LGA has been strengthened
• R - integrated graphics for BGA (nettop) has been strengthened
• H - integrated graphics in mobile processors (Iris Pro) has been strengthened

How to edit videos

It’s important to keep an eye on it, so we recommend that you take a look at it, where you can get information about all integrated Intel solutions, and where you can see the productivity rating of video adapters and their results in benchmarks . To find out what graphics are available for the processor you need, go to the Intel website, search for your processor with filters, and then look in the “Graphics built into the processor” column.
