Intel UHD Graphics of 10th Gen Intel Core U Processors

by

The Intel UHD Graphics is a graphics processor integrated into select Intel Core processors for laptops. More precisely, in the 10th Gen Intel Core U-series processors, such as the i3-10110U, i5-10210U, and i7-10510U. The UHD isn’t designed for hard core gaming. It rather provides basic performance for managing the notebooks’ screens and some light gaming.

Intel UHD is very similar to its precursor – the Intel UHD 620 of the 8th Gen Intel Core U-series processors. They have 24 graphics execution units. Intel has also in its main processor lineup the 10th Gen Intel Core G-series chips, with improved integrated graphics processors – the Intel UHD (G1) with 32, Intel Iris Plus (G4) with 48, and Intel Iris Plus (G7) with 64 execution units. These graphics processors offer somewhat better performance, but still in the low-end graphics range.

Intel UHD Graphics Benchmark

Here’s the User Benchmark ranking of the UHD integrated graphics of the 10th Gen Intel Core U-series processors, compared to other popular laptop-use GPUs.

Intel UHD Graphics Benchmark

As you can see, the Intel UHD graphics is near the bottom of the benchmark chart. That’s quite expected, since graphics processing units that are built into the systems’ main processors are generally weak. The Intel UHD can be described as an average integrated graphics processor. Also, it is somewhat slower than the Intel UHD G1 and Intel Iris Plus G4 / G7 GPUs.

Real World Gaming

Just like its Intel UHD 620 similarly-specced precursor, the Intel UHD should be able to run decently smooth many of the most popular games. In particular, lighter titles such as League of Legends, Minecraft, or Dota. It isn’t a gaming-class graphics solution with potential to run smoothly all the latest AAA games, but it can be a very decent budget graphics choice for light gaming with great power efficiency and cool operation.

  8. Laptop ACER Aspire3 intel core i5 10th GEN with UHD graphics. My significant other just bought this laptop for school as it turns out he needs to be able to run a program called Mastercam Design 2021. It needs to have OpenCL 1.2 to operate the app for school labs correctly. I have tried to update the drivers and run all possible available system updates in hopes it would resolve the issue, but i am still getting the error message that this compatibility hasn’t been resolved. What can i do to upgrade the graphics we do not have the money to just go out and buy another computer like he wants to do. (he should of listened to me to begin with and we would not be having this problem)

  21. Is there is a point in like i5 or these better graphic cards, if you dont intend to game. If you only do office tasks, youtube and stuff like that. Is there an actual difference, is it worth to buy a budget gaming laptop just to have better processor and graphics card ?

  40. I have a i3-1005G1 8gb ram 256 ssd and the uhd for 10th gen. I can’t run valorant smoothly even at the lowest settings and also the resolution quality reduced to 80.

  42. Hi all,

    Please is here somebody who can help me with my question: Can I use my laptop with 3 external monitors?

    Laptop:
    “HP EliteBook 840 G7, IntelCore i5-10310U CPU @ 1.7 GHz [8 CPUs], ~2.2GHz”, and 16GB RAM.
    https://support.hp.com/lv-en/document/c06680927#AbT7

    with the standard incorporated graphics: “Intel UHD Graphics”

    On the page “ark.intel.com” in section “Processor Graphics” it says “# of Displays Supported = 3”

    https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/201892/intel-core-i510310u-processor-6m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz.html

    does it mean I can use it with 3 external monitors (Philips 243S) on resolution 1920×1080 ??? What do you think???

    With a HUB which has 3 HDMI slots and a cable to laptop with USB-C. I didn’t buy it yet as I need to know whether my laptop would even work with 3 monitors.
