About Hardware Intel HD Graphics 3000 Mobile
Intel HD Graphics 3000 is an integrated GPU present in the Intel Core i3-2330M processor, part of the second generation of Intel Core based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, released in 2011. The GPU has 12 execution units (EUs) and is capable of operating at speeds up to 1.3 GHz on mobile variants, making it a significant improvement over the previous generation of Intel HD.
Support for DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.1, and technologies such as Intel Quick Sync Video make the HD Graphics 3000 capable of handling HD video playback smoothly, including 720p and 1080p formats. The graphics performance is capable enough for light multimedia needs, such as video streaming, simple image editing, and running office applications without any significant problems.
In the context of gaming, the Intel HD 3000 is still capable of running some light and retro games, such as Counter-Strike: Source, Dota 1, The Sims 2, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) with low graphics settings. However, for modern games with high graphics requirements, this GPU has started to lag behind and does not provide an optimal experience.
This GPU does not have its own VRAM and relies on system RAM, so its performance is highly dependent on the memory configuration. With dual channel 4GB DDR3 RAM, such as the one used in the SAMSUNG 300E4Z laptop, the graphics performance can be more stable than a single channel configuration.
Overall, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 offers a balance between power efficiency and basic performance, making it a viable solution for entry-level laptops with daily use needs. Although it is relatively old, this GPU is still sufficient for light computing activities, especially on operating systems like Windows 7.
Hardware Detail:
Device: SAMSUNG 300E4Z
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel
OS: Windows 7

About Hardware ARM Mali-T860 MP2
Mali-T860 MP2 is ARM's mid-range mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) consisting of 2 shader cores. This GPU is designed to deliver better power efficiency compared to previous generations such as Mali-T760, while still maintaining sufficient graphics performance for daily needs. Mali-T860 MP2 is widely used in older chipsets such as MediaTek MT6750 and Samsung Exynos series 7, and is found in many popular Android devices of its time, such as OPPO F1s, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and other devices.
With support for modern graphics standards such as OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.0, as well as RenderScript and OpenCL 1.2, the Mali-T860 MP2 is capable of running a wide range of Android applications with a smooth interface, stable HD video playback, and light to medium games with adequate performance. While not designed for heavy gaming or intensive 3D-based applications, this GPU is still an ideal choice for an efficient and stable light multitasking experience, especially on devices with HD or HD+ displays.
In tests on devices like the OPPO F1s (refurbished) with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the GPU was able to handle activities like browsing, social media, and video streaming without a hitch. The combination of decent graphics performance and energy efficiency keeps the Mali-T860 MP2 relevant for entry-level devices that are still in use today.
Hardware Detail:
Device: OPPO F1s/A59m (Refurbish)
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 5.1
