About Hardware AMD Radeon HD 6520G
The AMD Radeon HD 6520G is an integrated graphics processor embedded in the AMD A6-3400M APU, released in 2011 as part of AMD's Llano family. Featuring 320 stream processors with a VLIW5 architecture and a maximum clock speed of around 400 MHz, this GPU was designed to provide entry-level graphics performance for budget laptops and all-in-one systems at the time. As an integrated GPU, the Radeon HD 6520G does not have dedicated VRAM; instead, it shares the system memory, meaning its performance heavily depends on the type and speed of RAM installed. Systems equipped with dual-channel DDR3 RAM see a noticeable boost in graphics performance compared to single-channel configurations.
In terms of gaming capabilities, the Radeon HD 6520G can run older or less demanding titles at 720p resolution with low graphical settings. Games such as Counter-Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead 2, and League of Legends remain playable, albeit at modest frame rates. However, when it comes to modern AAA games or graphically intensive applications, the HD 6520G struggles due to its limited clock speeds, shader count, and lack of support for newer graphical APIs like DirectX 12 or Vulkan. Despite these limitations, this GPU remains useful for everyday computing tasks such as video playback, light photo editing, and basic office productivity.
Compared to contemporary integrated graphics solutions, the Radeon HD 6520G is outdated but still holds value for users with legacy laptops like the Lenovo Sabine B475 that run older operating systems such as Windows 7. For those seeking a budget-friendly laptop for general usage without demanding graphics workloads, the HD 6520G offers sufficient performance for casual use while maintaining low power consumption. Overall, this GPU highlights the evolution of integrated graphics from the early 2010s, illustrating how far mobile graphics have advanced in terms of power, efficiency, and features.

About Hardware IMG PowerVR Rogue GE8320 680MHz
The PowerVR GE8320 is Imagination Technologies' Rogue architecture-based integrated GPU embedded in the MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) SoC. The GPU comes with two shader clusters and runs at a frequency of up to 680 MHz, delivering good power efficiency and sufficient performance for lightweight graphics needs in entry-level smartphones.
With support for modern graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenCL 1.2, the PowerVR GE8320 is capable of running a variety of multimedia applications and light games on Android devices. While not ideal for intensive 3D games or professional graphics applications, this GPU still provides a smooth user experience in everyday activities such as video playback, social media, browsing, and light multitasking.
This GPU is used in entry-level devices like the OPPO A5s and OPPO A15s, which feature 3/32GB and 4/64GB RAM and storage configurations, respectively. In a 30°C ambient temperature test using a DHT11 sensor, devices with this GPU showed fairly stable thermal performance. Using the OPPO A15s is more recommended for testing and using the latest apps due to its higher operating system support (Android 10), while some apps no longer support Android 8.
In synthetic testing, the PowerVR GE8320 recorded the following benchmark results:
- 3DMark Ice Storm: 10,470 points
- 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme: 404 points
- AnTuTu v9 (GPU score): 12,248 points
- Geekbench 4 Compute: 3,284 points
These benchmark results show that the PowerVR GE8320 is capable of handling basic graphics quite well, but it is not intended for heavy graphics workloads. This GPU is ideal for use in devices with HD screen resolutions that are focused on battery efficiency and a smooth daily usage experience.
Hardware Detail:
Device: OPPO A5s & OPPO A15s.
Device Specs: MediaTek MT6765, 3/32 (A5s), 4/64 (A15s), Android 8 (A5s), Android 10 (A15s).
Room Temperature: 30°C based on DHT11 Sensors.
* I use the OPPO A15s device as an addition to the Imagination PowerVR Rogue GE8320 680MHz hardware, because some applications do not support devices with Android 8 version
