Intel HD Graphics 2500 - a powerful integrated graphics subsystem
The main application of Intel HD Graphics 2500- it's office computers or gaming PCs of economy class. As in the first, and in the second case, such an integrated graphics accelerator will look great. It is the capabilities of this built-in solution that will be devoted to this material.
Possible applications
Intel HD Graphics Adapter2500, in the first place, is aimed at working in the composition of the least productive computers for office use. This approach is more than justified in this case. Minimum requirements are put forward to speed. At the same time, there is no need to buy such an adapter. It was originally included in the CPU. The result is an ideal solution for low-performance personal computers.
But Intel decided not to stop there. The technical characteristics of this adapter have been significantly improved, and this circumstance allowed it to launch most toys, but with a low level of quality. As a result, such computing systems could compete on an equal footing with system blocks equipped with discrete entry-level graphics. In the end, this led to the fact that the class of discrete accelerators of the economy class simply disappeared from the store shelves. Instead of these, integrated video cards have been universally applied.
Basic parameters of the solution. Characteristics of the technical plan
Using 22nm technology,semiconductor crystal Intel HD Graphics 2500. The characteristics of this adapter indicated the presence of 6 graphics processors and 2 modules of rasterization. The clock speed of this video accelerator was 1150 MHz. Foundation area - 160 mm2, and the number of deposited silicon elementswas 1.4 billion pieces. The ceiling of power consumption was set by the manufacturer at 77W. The only memory type for this graphics adapter is DDR3. The size of the RAM bus is 64 bits, and the clock frequency of the memory chips should be 800 MHz. The volume of the video buffer, as in any other graphic solution, was set in the BIOS of the motherboard, but its largest value could not exceed 2 GB.
Reviews. Tests. Advantages and disadvantages
A pleasant bonus to high-performanceprocessors Intel company was an integrated accelerator Intel HD Graphics 2500. Reviews of the owners indicate the complete absence of its minuses. The plus is that there is no need to overpay for it and its speed is acceptable. This is how the videochip characterizes the owners of such computing systems. This video accelerator shows the following results in such game tests:
- 3D Mark - 2050 points.
- Batman version of Arkham City at a resolution of 1366Х768 - 28 fps.
- Dirt 3 with a resolution of 1366Х768 - 29fps.
All these results indicate that inresolution 1024Х768 and with low detail it will be possible to play in any of the two given toys. Earlier integrated solutions such opportunities could not boast.
Outcomes
Impressive breakthrough in the world of embedded video cardsthe emergence of Intel HD Graphics 2500. It is the appearance of such products eventually led to the fact that discrete graphics of the economy class disappeared from the shelves of stores. It no longer needs.
