SummaryVersionsPerformanceFeaturesThe Intel HD Graphics 3000 (or Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD 3000 GMA HD 3000 Intel HD Graphics 200) is an integrated graphics card in the Sandy Bridge codenamed processors The HD Graphics 3000 has no dedicated memory but shares the Level 3 / LLC Cache with the CPU cores and also part of the main memory Due to TurboBoost the GPU can be overclocked depending on the current CPU load and power consumption The base speed and the turbo boost speed of the HD Graphics 3000 depend on the processor The HD 3000 offers 12 Execution Units (EUs) like the old Intel GMA HD but due to architectural changes each EU is now faster The slower HD Graphics 2000 uses only 6 Execution Units The EUs can be accessed using DirectX 101 OpenGL 30 and DirectCompute 41 OpenCL is not supported (the media SDK only uses the CPU) Our performance tests with the high clocked mainstream version of the HD Graphics 3000 in quadcore processors showed a performance level on par with older entry level generations from NVIDIA (eg GeForce 310M) and AMD (HD 5450) In comparison with AMD&#39s APU models the HD 3000 can only compete against the Cand Eseries but not the faster Llano and Trinity models The quality of the Intel drivers has been improved over the years so most games are flawlessly playable (if the minimum requirements are fullfilled) We could measure smooth frame rates in games like Dead Space 3 World of Tanks Fifa 13 Torchlight 2 CounterStrike GO reach Diablo 3 and many older games though usually only in minimal detail settings For accurate performance analysis and gaming benchmarks read our article \\”Intel HD Graphics 3000\\” or scroll down in this article Altought 2x Antialiasing (AA) is supported the chip is as fast as when rendering 4x AA In the Unigine Valley benchmark a i72637M for example reached the same score with 2x AA and 4x AA Due to the integration in the 32nm built CPU the power consumption of the GPU should be quite low The following benchmarks stem from our benchmarks of review laptops The performance depends on the used graphics memory clock rate processor system settings drivers and operating systems So the results don&#39t have to be representative for all laptops with this GPU For detailled information on the benchmark results click on the fps number In addition to the GPU the chip also houses some dedicated units for decoding and encoding HD videos On the IDF Intel demonstrated the encoding of a 3 minute long 1080p video to an iPhone compatible format in 640×360 in only 14s Another novelty of the Sandy Bridge GPU is the embedded DisplayPort eDP to connect internal Displays.
