In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4850 are significantly better than the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell).
The Graphics Mobile was released over three years more recently than the Radeon HD, and so the Graphics Mobile is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Radeon HD when running the latest games.
The Radeon HD has 1024 MB video memory, but the Graphics Mobile does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) has 12 Shader Processing Units and the Mobility Radeon HD 4850 has 800. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics Mobile is 10 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD is 260. The Radeon HD having 250 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon HD delivers a noticeably smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Graphics Mobile.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) requires 4 Watts to run and the Mobility Radeon HD 4850 requires 55 Watts. The Radeon HD requires 51 Watts more than the Graphics Mobile to run. The difference is significant enough that the Radeon HD may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the Graphics Mobile.

| Mini Review | Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) are integrated graphics in the budget Celeron and Pentium Broadwell Mobile processors. Their performance depends on the processor they are integrated on, as the latter defines the Base and Boost Clock, as well as on the SYSTEM RAM, which defines the operating memory clock, and whether the GPU accesses a 64-bit or 128-bit memory interface. Best case scenario, the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) performs on par with Intel HD 4000 Graphics and so most modern demanding games will not be playable. Less graphically intense games will be playable at lower graphics settings. | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4000 Series graphics processors bring the power of desktop graphics to mobile users, setting a new standard for visual computing on-the-go. Redefine the way you play and push HD gaming to the extreme with best-in-class performance and performance/watt. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4000 series delivers an immersive, life-like gaming experience with support for the latest Microsoft DirectX 10.1 games. Watch Blu-ray movies and play HD content with incredible visual fidelity1,2. Do it all with break-through energy efficiency with ATI PowerPlay power management technology for long battery life that doesn't compromise on performance. | |||
