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 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
