Intel UHD Graphics 600 vs Intel UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 32 EU) vs Intel UHD Graphics (Elkhart Lake 16 EU)
Intel UHD Graphics 600
► remove from comparison
The Intel UHD Graphics 600 is an integrated processor graphics unit from the Gemini Lake generation (e. g. Pentium N4100), which was announced late 2017. The GPU can convince with low consumption figures, but the performance is only in the low-end segment and is rarely sufficient for modern games. Being the lowest configuration of the Gemini Lake GPU, the UHD Graphics 600 is equipped with 12 of the 18 Execution Units (EUs) running at up to 700 MHz. The technical specifications of the GPU are based on Intel's Gen9 architecture, which is also used for the more expensive Skylake series and also in the predecessor HD Graphics 505.
Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the UHD 605 has to access the main memory via processor (2x 64bit DDR4/LPDDR4-2400).
Performance
The UHD Graphics 600 offers a similar performance as the Intel HD Graphics 500 in the Apollo Lake SoCs (same Gen 9 architecture). Therefore, the GPU is only suited for some very low demanding games like Dirt Rally or Sims 4.
Features
The video engine decodes H.265/HEVC (8b and 10b) and VP9 completely in hardware. Up to three displays can be connected via DP 1.2a/eDP 1.3 or HDMI 2.0a (including HDCP 2.2).
Power Consumption
The TDP of the whole Pentium N4100 chip is 6 Watts by default, so the GPU is primarily used for (often passively cooled) netbooks or thin notebooks. The TDP can also be reduced to 4.8 Watts, but this will obviously affect the performance.
Intel UHD Graphics (Jasper Lake 32 EU)
► remove from comparison
The Intel UHD Graphics 32 EUs (Jasper Lake, Gen. 11) is an integrated graphics card in the Jasper Lake Pentium SoCs for laptops and small desktops. It is the fastest GPU version in the Jasper Lake series (Pentium Silver) and offers all 32 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Blocks). It offers no dedicated graphics memory and the clock rate depends on the processor model. At launch there are two Pentium Silver models (N6000 with 6W and N6005 with 10W) clocked at 350 - 900 MHz.
Thanks to the improved architecture and more EUs, the UHD Graphics is clearly faster than the old Gemini Lake SoCs (e.g. N5000). Intel states up to 78% better 3DMark Fire Strike scores and up to 22% more FPS in Rocket League. Still only very low demanding games should be playable.
A special new feature of the Gen11 graphics card is the new Variable Rate Shading (VRS) support. With it game designers can decide where to spend shading time and e.g. shade object in the background or behind fog with less resolution (up to using only one source for a 4x4 block). With this technique early results show up to 1.3x performance in Unreal Engine POC and 1.2x speedup in Civ 6. Up to now VRS is only supported by the new Nvidia Turing architecture (GTX 1650 and up).
Another improved hardware piece is the integrated video de- and encoder that was improved significantly according to Intel. They did not specify any more details, but the previous generation was able to decode VP9 and H.265/HEVC in Main10 profile with 10 bit color depth using the dedicated hardware.
The Jasper Lake SoCs and therefore the integrated GPU are manufactured in the 10nm process (like Ice Lake probably) at Intel that should be comparable to the 7nm process of TSMC.
Intel UHD Graphics (Elkhart Lake 16 EU)
► remove from comparison
The Intel UHD Graphics 16EUs Elkhart Lake (Gen. 11) is an integrated graphics card (iGPU) in the Elkhart Lake Pentium and Celeron SoCs (e.g., Celeron N6211). It was announced in early 2021 and is used in the low end Elkhart Lake CPUs. It uses 16 of the 32 execution units and offers no dedicated graphics memory. The clock speed depends on the CPU model and ranges from 250 MHz (minimal base clock speed) up to 850 MHz (highest Boost clock).
The gaming performance is very low and even low demanding games like Dota 2 in our review were not fluently playable in minimal settings.
