Though the benchmark still runs poorly on Intel HD 4600, there’s an approximately 50% performance increase. This demanding benchmark is known for its high image quality and extensive use of tessellation. This resulted in a very obvious render improvement: Cloud Gate runs great on the new hardware. Intel HD 4000 performs adequately, but the new HD 4600 absolutely annihilates the older part’s score by almost doubling it. The resultsĬloud Gate is the middle-rung test in the new 3DMark suite, and it’s meant to simulate a modestly demanding current-gen game. In the case of games, we started our tests from the same save file on each system (thanks, Steam Cloud!) and performed similar actions during each of our three test runs.

These tweaks are not hugely important in the short-term, but it’s always good for a graphics component to support the latest standards. The new IGP supports Direct X 11.1, as well as Open CL 1.2 and Open GL 4.0. Intel has also used the revision as an opportunity to upgrade compatibility with graphics standards. However, this maximum clock will not be obtainable on certain low-voltage parts, which means not every system with HD 4600 will perform identically. HD 4600, like its predecessor, will automatically overclock itself up to a maximum of 1350 MHz. Performance has been improved mainly through a pair of significant changes: an increase in execution units from 16 to 20, and an improvement in clock speed minimum from 350 MHz to 400 MHz.
The new HD 4600 is essentially a revision of HD 4000, in the same way that Haswell is a revision of the preceding Ivy Bridge.
