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 IMG PowerVR Rogue GE8320 650MHz

The PowerVR GE8320 (650MHz) is an integrated GPU designed specifically for entry- to mid-range mobile devices. It offers efficient and power-saving graphics performance, making it an ideal choice for smartphones that focus on daily use, such as interface navigation, video playback, and light gaming. With a clock speed of up to 650MHz, the PowerVR GE8320 is capable of delivering a fairly smooth graphical display across a wide range of applications, especially at HD+ (720p) screen resolutions commonly used in entry-level devices.

Built on the PowerVR Rogue architecture, this GPU supports various modern graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES, Vulkan, and OpenCL, ensuring compatibility with many of today's Android apps, including casual games and multimedia apps. Although not intended for heavy gaming or graphics-intensive applications, the PowerVR GE8320 is still capable of running a variety of popular games with low to medium graphics settings, such as Mobile Legends, Subway Surfers, or Free Fire, with fairly stable performance.

The test was conducted using a Realme C2 device, powered by a MediaTek MT6762V SoC (Helio P22) and combined with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, running Android 9 with ColorOS 6 interface. With this configuration, the Realme C2 provides an accurate picture of the PowerVR GE8320's graphics capabilities in real-world conditions.

In terms of benchmarks, the PowerVR GE8320 recorded quite competitive scores in its class. On Geekbench 4 Compute, the GPU scored 2,969 points, showing sufficient graphics computing performance for light multitasking and basic visual processing. In AnTuTu Benchmark v9 (Mobile) - GPU, the score achieved was 12,663 points, while the AnTuTu v10 (Mobile) - GPU version showed improvement with a score of 13,935 points, reflecting better driver efficiency and system optimization in the latest version.

Overall, the PowerVR GE8320 is a power-efficient GPU aimed at affordable mobile devices, with adequate performance for everyday activities. For users who do not require high graphics performance but want a smooth usage experience, this GPU is an economical and reliable solution. It is suitable for students, first-time smartphone users, or users who are more focused on battery life, system efficiency, and modern app compatibility.
