Core i5 processor with integrated HD Graphics 2000 Intel HD Graphics is a series of (IGPs) introduced by in 2010 that are manufactured on the same or as the (CPU). Intel Iris Graphics and Intel Iris Pro Graphics are the IGP series introduced in 2013 with some models of processors as the high-performance versions of HD Graphics. Iris Pro Graphics was the first in the series to incorporate. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Intel integrated graphics represented, in units, 65% of all PC graphics processor shipments. However, this percentage does not represent actual adoption as a number of these shipped units end up in systems outfitted with.

The previous Intel integrated graphics solution, Intel GMA, had a reputation of lacking performance and features, and therefore was not considered to be a good choice for more demanding graphics applications, such as 3D gaming. The performance increases brought by Intel's HD Graphics made the products competitive with integrated graphics adapters made by its rivals, and.

Intel HD Graphics, featuring minimal power consumption that is important in, was capable enough that PC manufacturers often stopped offering options in their low-end and mid-range laptop lines. Generations [ ]. See also: Intel HD and Iris Graphics are divided into generations, and within each generation are divided into 'tiers' of increasing performance, denominated by the 'GTx' label. Westmere [ ] In January 2010, and processors with Ironlake graphics were released, and branded as,, or with HD Graphics. There was only one specification: 12 execution units, up to 43.2 at 900 MHz.

Sandy Bridge [ ] In January 2011, the processors were released, introducing the 'second generation' HD Graphics: Model number Tier Execution units Clock speed (MHz) GFLOPS HD Graphics GT1 6 1000 48 HD Graphics 2000 GT1 6 1350 64.8 HD Graphics 3000 GT2 12 1350 129.6 Sandy Bridge Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2000 or HD 3000. HD Graphics 2000 and 3000 include and. Ivy Bridge [ ] On 24 April 2012, was released, introducing the 'third generation' of Intel's HD graphics: Model number Tier Execution units Clock speed (MHz) GFLOPS HD Graphics GT1 6 1000 96 HD Graphics 2500 GT1 6 1150 110.4 HD Graphics 4000 GT2 16 1300 332.8 Ivy Bridge Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2500 or HD 4000.

HD Graphics 2500 and 4000 include and. For some low-power mobile CPUs there is limited video decoding support, while none of the desktop CPUs have this limitation.

Haswell [ ] On 12 September 2012, CPUs were announced, with four models of integrated GPUs: Market Model number Tier Execution units eDRAM (MB) Clock speed (MHz) GFLOPS Consumer HD Graphics GT1 10 – 1150 184 HD Graphics 4200 GT2 20 – 850 272 HD Graphics 4400 GT2 20 – 950–1150 304–368 HD Graphics 4600 GT2 20 – 900–1350 288–432 HD Graphics 5000 GT3 40 – 1000–1100 640–768 Iris Graphics 5100 GT3 40 – 1100–1200 704–768 Iris Pro Graphics 5200 GT3e 40 128 1200 832 Server HD Graphics P4600 GT2 20 – 1200–1250 384–400 HD Graphics P4700 GT2 20 – 1250–1300 400–416. Intel Haswell i7-4771 CPU, which contains integrated HD Graphics 4600 (GT2) The 128 MB of eDRAM in the Iris Pro GT3e is on the same package as the CPU, but in a separate manufactured in a different process.

Intel refers to this as a Level 4 cache, available to both CPU and GPU, naming it Crystalwell. Linux support for this eDRAM is expected in kernel version 3.12, by making the drm/i915 driver aware and capable of using it. Integrated Iris Pro Graphics was adopted by for their late-2013 15-inch laptops (with ), which for the first time in the history of the series did not have discrete graphics cards, although only for the low-end model. It was also included on the late-2013 21.5-inch. Broadwell [ ] In November 2013, it was announced that -K desktop processors (aimed at enthusiasts) will also carry Iris Pro Graphics.

See also: and Ivy Bridge [ ] HD 2500 and HD 4000 GPUs in CPUs are advertised as supporting three active monitors, but many users have found that this does not work for them due to the chipsets only supporting two active monitors in many common configurations. The reason for this is that the chipsets only include two (PLLs); a PLL generates a at a certain frequency which is used to sync the timings of data being transferred between the GPU and displays. Therefore, three simultaneously active monitors can only be achieved by a hardware configuration that requires only two unique pixel clocks, such as: • Using two or three connections, as they require only a single pixel clock for all connections. Passive adapters from DisplayPort to some other connector rely on the chipset being able to emit a non-DisplayPort signal through the DisplayPort connector, and thus do not count as a DisplayPort connection. Active adapters that contain additional logic to convert the DisplayPort signal to some other format count as a DisplayPort connection.

• By using two non-DisplayPort connections of the same connection type (for example, two HDMI connections) and the same clock frequency (like when connected to two identical monitors at the same resolution), so that a single unique pixel clock can be shared between both connections. • Using the on a mobile CPU along with any two other outputs. Haswell [ ] Z87- and H87-based motherboards support three displays simultaneously. H87-based motherboards are also advertised to support three independent monitors at once.

• LG Nilsson (2012-03-12).. Despite the fact that Intel has been banging its drums about support for up to three displays on the upcoming 7-series motherboards in combination with a shiny new Ivy Bridge based CPU, this isn't likely to be the case. The simple reason behind this is that very few, if any motherboards will sport a pair of DisplayPort connectors. • ^ David Galus (February 2013). The Intel® 7 Series Chipset based platform allows for the support of up to three concurrent displays with independent or replicated content. However, this comes with the requirement that either one of the displays is eDP running off the CPU or two DP interfaces are being used off the PCH. When configuring the 2 DP interfaces from the PCH, one may be an eDP if using Port D.

This limitation exists because the 7 Series Intel PCH contains only two display PLLs (the CPU has one display PLL also) which will control the clocking for the respective displays. All display types other than DP have an external variable clock frequency associated with the display resolution that is being used. Cd Label Software Boeder Bike on this page. The DP interface has an embedded clocking scheme that is semi- variable, either at 162 or 270 MHz depending on the bandwidth required.

Therefore, Intel only allows sharing of a display PLL with DP related interfaces. • (2011-10-06)...

A limitation of this triple monitor support for Ivy Bridge is that two of the pipes need to share a PLL. Ivy Bridge has three planes, three pipes, three transcoders, and three FDI (Flexible Display Interface) interfaces for this triple monitor support, but there's only two pipe PLLs. This means that two of the three outputs need to have the same connection type and same timings. However, most people in a triple monitor environment will have at least two — if not all three — of the monitors be identical and configured the same, so this shouldn't be a terribly huge issue.

This motherboard supports Triple Monitor. You may choose up to three display interfaces to connect monitors and use them simultaneously. Connect up to three independent monitors at once using video outputs such as DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA. Choose your outputs and set displays to either mirror mode or collage mode.
