AMD E1-2100 | AMD Radeon HD 8210 | 14.00" | 1.9 kg
The AMD Radeon HD 8210 is an integrated DirectX 11.1 graphics card found in AMD E1-2100 "Kabini" and A4-1250 "Temash" APUs. It offers 128 shader cores and two Compute Units based on the GCN architecture and is clocked at 300 MHz with no support for Turbo. The graphics card does not have dedicated VRAM and will access the main memory of the system (up to single-channel DDR3L-1333).
The HD 8210 integrates both UVD 4.2 and VCE 2.0 video encoders. It supports up to two external monitors via VGA, DVI, HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2.
Depending on the benchmark, the performance of the Radeon HD 8210 is similar to the Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge). This is on par with a dedicated Radeon HD 6430M, but is still too slow for modern games as of 2013. However, a few older and less demanding games will run fluently, if the limited CPU performance is sufficient.

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't have to be representative for all laptops with this GPU. For detailed information on the benchmark results, click on the fps number.

The integrated Avivo HD UVD 4.2 video decoder supports in Windows via DXVA MPEG2, H264, VC1, MPEG4p2, and WMV9 in SD, HD (720p), and FHD (1080p). In our DXVAChecker benchmarks the decoder was able to reach 23-44 fps with about 12% CPU load rendering Big Buck Bunny H264 in 1080p. However the slow CPU cores may not be fast enough for decoding video on its own. E.g. using VLC was dropping frames when playing back Big Buck Bunny (even without running Resource Monitor).
