Gaming Performance Comparison

In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop are significantly better than the AMD Radeon HD 4350 1GB.

The Graphics 3000 has a 250 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 4350, but the HD 4350 has 7 more Texture Mapping Units than the Graphics 3000. As a result, the HD 4350 exhibits a 3.9 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the Graphics 3000. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The Graphics 3000 has a 250 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 4350, but the HD 4350 has 3 more Render Output Units than the Graphics 3000. As a result, the HD 4350 exhibits a 1.5 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the Graphics 3000. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Graphics 3000 was released less than a year after the HD 4350, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

The HD 4350 has 1024 MB video memory, but the Graphics 3000 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

The Radeon HD 4350 1GB has 80 Shader Processing Units and the HD Graphics 3000 Desktop has 48. However, the actual shader performance of the HD 4350 is 31 and the actual shader performance of the Graphics 3000 is 126. The Graphics 3000 having 95 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Graphics 3000 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the HD 4350.

The Graphics 3000 transistor size technology is 23 nm (nanometers) smaller than the HD 4350. This means that the Graphics 3000 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the HD 4350. As they exhibit similar graphical performance, the Graphics 3000 should consume less power than the HD 4350.

The Radeon HD 4350 1GB requires 20 Watts to run but there is no entry for the HD Graphics 3000 Desktop. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the HD 4350.
