About Hardware Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Sandy Bridge)

Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) is Intel's second generation integrated GPU, present in processors such as the Intel Celeron B815, released in 2011. This GPU uses the Sandy Bridge architecture and has between 6 and 12 execution units (EUs) depending on the CPU model. On the Celeron B815, this GPU runs at a base frequency of 650 MHz and can go up to 1.05 GHz through the Dynamic Frequency (Turbo) feature.

Although not designed for high performance, Intel HD Graphics Sandy Bridge brings improvements over the previous generation, including support for DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.1, and HD video decoding hardware through Intel Quick Sync Video technology. This allows 720p to 1080p video playback to run quite smoothly, and the low power consumption is suitable for energy-efficient laptops.

However, due to the limited number of execution units and the absence of dedicated VRAM, the graphics performance is only suitable for light tasks such as browsing, watching videos, and using office applications. Light or older games such as Plants vs Zombies, Counter-Strike 1.6, and GTA: Vice City can still be played at low resolutions and minimum graphics settings.

Compared to newer generation integrated GPUs such as Intel HD 4000 and above, the performance of Sandy Bridge HD Graphics is already quite behind. But for an entry-level laptop like SAMSUNG 300E4Z with 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM, this GPU is still worth using as a basic graphics solution in operating systems like Windows 7.

Overall, Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) on Celeron B815 is a simple yet functional graphics solution for light daily use, especially on older generation laptops that can still be utilized for basic productivity tasks and light entertainment.

Hardware Detail:

Device: SAMSUNG 300E4Z
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel
OS: Windows 7
