Intel HD Graphics 520
The Intel HD Graphics 520 (GT2) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in various ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors of the
Skylake generation. This GT2 version of the Skylake GPU oers 24 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at up to 1050 MHz (depending on the
CPU model). Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the HD 520 has to access the main memory (2x 64-bit
DDR3L-1600/DDR4-2133).
Performance
The exact performance of the HD Graphics 520 depends on various factors like L3 cache size, memory conguration (DDR3/DDR4) and
maximum clock rate of the specic model. The fastest versions Core i7-6600U should perform similar to a dedicated GeForce 820M and
handles modern games (as of 2015) in low settings.
Features
The revised video engine now decodes H.265/HEVC completely in hardware and more eciently than before. Displays can be connected
using a DP 1.2/eDP 1.3 (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz), whereas HDMI is limited to the older version 1.4a (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz).
However, HDMI 2.0 can be added using a DisplayPort converter. Up to three displays can be controlled simultaneously.
Power Consumption
The HD Graphics 520 can be found in mobile processors specied at 15 W TDP and is therefore suited for compact laptops and Ultrabooks.
