For games, the drivers however are not that fast updated and tested as with GeForce graphics cards. Compared to dedicated graphics cards, the HD620 should be positioned between a GeForce 910M and 920M from Nvidia.
That means only some less demanding recent games like Farming Simulator 17 run fluently in low detail settings (see below for gaming benchmarks). The exact performance of the HD Graphics 620 depends on various factors like 元 cache size, memory configuration (DDR3/DDR4) and maximum clock rate of the specific model but is very similar to the old HD Graphics 520 GPU. Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the HD 620 has to access the main memory (2x 64bit DDR3/DDR4). This "GT2" version of the Kaby Lake GPU is clocked at up to 1050 MHz (depending on the CPU model). The Intel HD Graphics 620 (GT2) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in various ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors of the Kaby Lake generation. Intel HD Graphics 620 ► remove from comparison Dedicated GPUs, like the GeForce 940MX, needed a lot more power. The power consumption during playing The Witcher 3 (with an external monitor) was comparable to a Intel HD Graphics 620 based laptop and on the lowest end of all of our measurements. The UHD Graphics 620 can be found in mobile processors specified at 15 W TDP and is therefore suited for compact laptops and ultrabooks. HDMI 2.0 however is still only supported with an external converter chip (LSPCon).
This was added with the new models in 2017 and beginning of May 2017 also the older CPU models like the i3-7100U are now shipped with a new S-Spec Code that supports HDCP 2.2. The first models do not support HDCP 2.2 and therefore Netflix 4K. Furthermore, Googles VP9 codec can also be hardware decoded. The revised video engine now supports H.265/HEVC Main10 profile in hardware with 10 bit colors. See below for a list of modern games tested with various models. In our tests, the UHD 620 is most suited for casual games like Team Fortress 2, Rocket League or Farming Simulator 17. Therefore, should be positioned between a GeForce 910M and 920M dedicated graphics card from Nvidia. Compared to the average HD Graphics 620, the UHD graphics profits from the quad-core CPU a bit in our gaming benchmarks. The exact performance of the UHD Graphics 620 depends on various factors like 元 cache size, memory configuration (DDR3/DDR4) and maximum clock rate of the specific model and as is similar to the Intel HD Graphics 620 and Intel HD Graphics 630. 1.050 MHz) and offer a comparable performance. It is clocked with up to 1.150 MHz and therefore 100 MHz higher than the old HD Graphics 620 (max. Compared to the similar named Intel HD Graphics 620 in the 2016 Kaby Lake CPUs, only the name changed from HD to UHD. The Intel UHD Graphics 620 (GT2) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in various ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors of the Kaby Lake Refresh generation (8th generation Core).
