About Hardware AMD Radeon HD 7310

The AMD Radeon HD 7310 is an entry-level integrated graphics processor (IGP) that is part of the AMD E1-1200 APU, launched in 2012 for budget-oriented laptops. Based on the Terascale 2 architecture, the Radeon HD 7310 features 80 stream processors (shaders) and runs at a clock speed of up to 500 MHz. While modest in terms of raw power, this GPU was designed to handle essential computing needs with minimal power consumption, making it ideal for ultraportable laptops and low-cost netbooks of its era.

The Radeon HD 7310 supports DirectX 11 and UVD3 (Unified Video Decoder) for smooth HD video playback, making it fairly capable for multimedia tasks such as watching YouTube videos or playing DVDs. However, it does not have dedicated VRAM, relying instead on shared system memory, which means that its performance is significantly influenced by the RAM configuration single-channel DDR3 memory limits its potential, while a dual-channel setup can offer slightly better bandwidth for graphical tasks.

In terms of gaming, the HD 7310 is only suitable for very light or older games, and even then, users will need to lower the resolution and graphics settings to achieve playable frame rates. Titles like Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, or older 2D games can run reasonably well, but 3D games or anything newer than 2012 will likely struggle. The GPU’s aging architecture also limits compatibility and performance in modern applications and web-based 3D content.

Despite its limitations, the Radeon HD 7310 can still serve a purpose in legacy laptops such as the HP 1000 1b05au, especially for users who need a machine for basic productivity tasks, internet browsing, and light media consumption on older operating systems like Windows 7 or Windows 8. For budget-conscious users who still own or restore older laptops, this GPU represents a practical, if dated, solution for everyday computing.

Hardware Detail:

Device: HP 1000 1b05au
CPU: AMD E1-1200
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Single Channel 2 DIMM
OS: Windows 7, Windows 8

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
