AMD introduced this year, the APU integrated graphics core processor in the notebook platform, APU was the integration of a single entry from the E series is equipped HD6310G to high-end A8 equipped HD6620G, in ascending order of performance, while the corresponding Intel also introduced in the SNB platform, built to fight Core HD3000 graphics card, but the entry-level to high-end Pentium B940 i7, are equipped with HD3000. Both sides will be built-in graphics core, so that 'set was' no longer possible. Now we are more curious is the core of both platforms show Who built the stronger. Then we will do a series of comparative tests, give us a clear answer.
Built-in graphics card comparison: AMD E-450 APU vs Core i7
See this comparison, certainly many of my friends would find it ridiculous, because these two processors would not be a price segment, the price difference of several thousand dollars, but I do not want on their overall performance to compare to you , but you want to talk about two separate 'built-in graphics core .'
AMD introduced this year, most of the A series APU with a strong performance graphics core of entry-level E-350 and E-450 uses a HD6310G and HD6320G, mainstream performance class A4, A6, A8 is the integration of HD6480G, HD6520G and HD6620G.
The Intel side is a core was used in the end, from the low end of the B940 to the top of the i7 Core Fengyun are chosen HD3000 graphics card, so it comes to show the core of the PK is the HD6320G E-450 equipped with the HD3000 contest.
HD6320G parameters compared with the HD3000
Before the war, let us first analyze the AMD E-450 APU's built-in graphics core HD 6320G and SNB i7 built-in graphics core HD3000 hardware parameters:
AMD E-450 APU built-in graphics card is HD 6320G, which is a remarkable fusion of a single frequency of GPU HD 6310G upgraded version of the core code-named Zacate, using 40nm manufacturing process, with 80 stream processors, 4 raster units, support Directx 11.
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Sandy-birdge based architecture, using the 45nm manufacturing process, has 12 stream processors, two raster units, support Directx 10.1 and other features .
Because both the structure in a different way, it is not simply from the number of stream processors, compared raster unit. To say that the most straightforward way is to compare results from the test.

Since the built-in Core i7 Pentium B940 graphics and built-in Core graphics are identical, are HD3000, so we selected the same as the entry-level Intel Pentium B940 and AMD E-450 APU for built-in graphics card comparison, this CPU performance difference between the two would eventually integrated graphics test results will be less impact from the above chart you can see AMD E-450 APU with HD6320G strong performance slightly better, in the main HDR/SM3. 0/SM2.0 graphics rendering, HD6320G have achieved an advantage, but some of the CPU logic operation has lagged behind the Pentium B940, but in the end AMD E-450 APU's score or pressure over the Pentium B940, view E-450 APU equipped with a single explicit integration of HD6320G graphics performance is indeed a lot stronger than the HD3000's performance.
From this we can see that the integration of HD6320G the E-450 an advantage in graphics performance, the B940 integrated HD3000 processor performance only to contend with here could not help but think of Intel's top processor i7 is just the integration the HD3000. just from the integration on the performance of graphics chips, it is not that E-450 is stronger than the i7 it?
E-450 was the integration of a single graphics card than the Core i7's strong, it is only a theoretical argument aside processors and we actually still need to see the use of overall performance, so we selected the following two sets on the market the most common hardware configuration, AMD A6-3400M APU + HD 6650M and i5 2410M + GT540M a combination of gaming performance comparison test, to see mainstream gaming platform configuration of the game performance in the end.
AMD A6-3400M APU + HD6650M dual-graphics Crossfire mode vs i5 2410M + GT540M graphics card model comparison test game
AMD on the APU graphical advantage is recognized by everyone. HD6320G alone would overwhelm the HD3000, then use the HD6520G of AMD A6-3400M APU to mention the graphics performance, but the core i5 Although performance is not significantly H3000 strong, but with a GT540M will certainly be after independence was greatly improved, A6 + HD6650M can be a combination of advantages it?

Crossfire dual graphics resolution map
Here we have to know is there on the A6 in the same graphical computing tool - Crossfire (dual card Crossfire). APU chip integration of single-fusion was the core of the Radeon with discrete graphics from AMD's work, both common collaboration for further performance improvement. But we must understand that crossfire system that allows graphics performance is not there the effect of 1 +1 = 2, its function is to allow collaboration between the two operations, increase the graphics computing capabilities, CrossFire at least be able to achieve 1 +1> 1 the effect.

A6-3400M integrated single significant vs Intel i5-2410M Core Graphics Comparison
To test the integration with the i5 A6 monochrome graphics authenticity can, we closed the graphics card after a 3Dmark series of software tests in this part of the Intel completely at a disadvantage, because the HD3000 does not support DX11, so I can not run 3Dmark11.
AMD A6-3400M APU dual-graphics Crossfire vs Intel i5-2410M + NVIDIA GT540M contrast
Then we opened a significant independence, APU on a unique platform for CrossFire dual-graphics capabilities, graphical test again. AMD A6-3400M APU equipped with the integration of a single significant HD6520G Crossfire dual graphics with HD6650M be obtained after the 1687 points, far more than the i5 + GT540M combination of 75.91% in 3DMark Vantage or 3DMark 06 test on AMD A6-3400M APU also winning combination.

Measured game
Scores only on the one hand, the majority of the players, the game's actual experience is more important to our under test is divided into built-in graphics card comparison and exchange of fire and single significant mode of comparison. DX9 game modes are all the test: all 1366x768 screen resolution / default gaming performance while DX10/11 setting of the game are: full-screen 1366x768 resolution / high effects / open vertical sync.
The first is to use the APU was integrated with a single Intel Core Graphics, the two platforms compare the game to run frames.

Support DX11 features let AMD A6-3400M APU's performance in the game is very strong, in << dust heterosexual vs. Predator 3>> operation, the use of AMD APU Single core Radeon display frames in the FPS in general significantly ahead on the Intel Core does not support DX11 graphics card.

Next, we conducted dual-graphics Crossfire AMD APU contrast to Intel i5-2410M + GT540M discrete graphics mode of the game tests, because the <> is a little old game, even on the 'vertical sync' after the high-quality pressure on the current graphics card is not great, APU and SNB performance gap between the two platforms is not obvious, are able to run smoothly, APU platform is almost a full frame level.
However, in DX11 games <> <> the game open after effects support, AMD APU platform, Intel processor and comparing the performance gap between the stand alone was significant. Crossfire dual graphics platform in both the APU games have more than doubled the number of frames in the lead. From this point you can also see AMD APU for the latest on DX10, DX11 game support better.

Summary: Through a series of tests, we get the result of AMD in the graphics performance is indeed extraordinary strength, such as entry-level fusion HD6320G significant performance than a single Core HD3000 graphics card, graphics computing, has a great gaming experience advantage mainstream AMD A6-3400M APU products in the mainstream games have a strong competitive
