Furthermore, the so-called GT3e-version features 48 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at up to 1050 MHz (depending on the CPU model). The Intel Iris Graphics 540 (GT3e) is an integrated graphics unit of the Skylake generation. As successors of the HD Graphics 6000 (Broadwell), the Iris Graphics 540 can be found in CPUs of 15-watt series and offers 64 MB of dedicated eDRAM memory. Intel Iris Graphics 540 ► remove from comparison Power Consumptionĭepending on the configured TDP the chip may be used in thin and light machines (12 - 20 Watt range) or normal sized laptops (35 Watt TDP).

However, less demanding games like Call of Duty: AW may even run in high detail settings (see the slightly slower Kaveri R7 GPU for benchmarks). Demanding games like Evolve or Far Cry 4 will struggle to achieve fluent frame rates. published 3DMark 11 scores of a 15 and 35 Watt version, where the 35 Watt version was 38% faster than the 15 Watt version. The gaming performance of the integrated R7 depends on the configured TDP (12 - 35 Watt) of the chip. More information on architecture and features of the Carrizo chips can be found in our launch article. Furthermore, the VCE (Video Codec Engine) was improved for faster transcodes of H.264. The improved video decoder UVD 6 (Unified Video Decoder) is now able to decode HVEC / H.265 in up 4K in hardware. HSA 1.0 is supported to easily run code on CPU and GPU cores together. Furthermore, the shaders can be used with Mantle, OpenGL and OpenCL. Therefore, it offers DirectX 12 (FL 12_0) hardware support and advanced color compression that leads to 5-7% improvement in games. The Radeon R7 is using the third generation GCN architecture (sometimes also called GCN 1.2) similar to the desktop Tonga chip.

Depending on the configured TDP (ranging from 12 to 35 Watt) and used main memory (up to DDR3-2133 in dual channel mode supported) the performance can differ greatly. At launch in mid 2015 the R7 was used in the AMD FX-8800P SoC with 512 GCN shaders and 800 MHz clock rate (Boost?). The AMD Radeon R7 (Carrizo) is an integrated graphics card in the fastest Carrizo APUs. AMD Radeon R7 (Carrizo) ► remove from comparison
