Intel hd 5500 is 35% more powerful than hd 4400

We have spent a season without knowing new details about the performance of future Intel Broadwell processors manufactured in 14nm, finally new information appears regarding the performance of its new integrated graphics processor showing an interesting improvement over Haswell.

Specifically, information has been leaked about the new Intel Core i7 5500U belonging to the Broadwell-U family and incorporating the new integrated Intel HD 5500 graphics processor consisting of 24 EUs (execution units) operating at a frequency of 950 MHz.

The Core i7 5500-U has been subjected to the 3D synthetic Mark Vantage benchmark and has given a score of 5, 124 points in said test, an excellent figure for a processor with a TDP of 15W, and which greatly exceeds the 3, 800 points achieved by the Intel HD 4400 graphics processor integrated into the Intel Haswell-U microprocessors, specifically we are talking about an improvement in performance of almost 35% despite operating at 150 MHz less. A very good performance figure that boosts the performance of Intel's graphics processors on its low-power CPUs.

On the other hand, we must not forget that Intel has an even more powerful graphics processor than the HD 5500, we are talking about the HD 6000, which will consist of a total of 48 EUs and will be part of the Core i7 5550-U. The performance of the Intel HD 6000 graphics should be very good and could jeopardize the current AMD Kaveri APU crown with a score of 7, 000 points on a 95W processor.
