About HD Graphics 520 (Mobile)
Intel HD Graphics 520 is an integrated GPU used in 6th generation Intel Core processors (Skylake), such as the Intel Core i5-6300U found in many business laptops and ultrabooks. It has 24 Execution Units (EUs) with speeds up to 1.0 GHz, offering sufficient graphics performance for light to medium computing needs in the portable device class.
As part of the Skylake architecture, the HD Graphics 520 supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and Vulkan 1.0, which makes it flexible enough to run a wide range of modern applications. The GPU is also equipped with hardware acceleration for H.265/HEVC video decoding, making it suitable for high-resolution video playback, including 4K content. The power efficiency of this architecture makes it ideal for use in high-mobility laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPad T470, which rely on long-lasting battery performance.
Compared to previous generations such as the Intel HD Graphics 5000 (Haswell), the HD Graphics 520 comes with improved graphics performance and better power efficiency. Although still in the entry-level GPU class, the HD 520 is capable of running light games such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Minecraft at 720p to 1080p resolution with low to medium graphics settings. For activities such as light graphic design, multitasking, and daily office use, this GPU provides a smooth and responsive experience.
In a device like the Lenovo ThinkPad T470, the HD Graphics 520 is paired with 8GB of single-channel DDR4 RAM, which while it could still be optimized with dual-channel, is enough to support productive user activities. The Windows 10 operating system also works very well with this generation of Intel graphics drivers, which continue to receive compatibility and performance updates from Intel.
Overall, the Intel HD Graphics 520 offers integrated graphics performance that strikes a balance between power efficiency and multimedia capabilities. It is suitable for office workers, students, and business laptop users who need stability and modern technology support without the need for a discrete GPU.
