In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) are massively better than the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3470.
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 256 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 3470 has 40. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics Mobile is 10 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD is 27. The Radeon HD having 17 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the Graphics Mobile performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) requires 4 Watts to run and the Mobility Radeon HD 3470 requires 12 Watts. The Radeon HD requires 8 Watts more than the Graphics Mobile to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon HD to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than 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. | The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series of discrete graphics allow you to experience the power of HD with graphics processing designed for how you work and play. Advance to the next generation of HD game performance and lifelike realism thanks to Microsoft DirectX 10.1 capabilities and PCI Express 2.0 support for fast throughput and superior overall system performance. Watch the latest Blu-ray and HD-DVD videos in full-HD 1080p image resolution off your graphics processor and reduce demands on your CPU. Enjoy breakthrough energy efficiency with superb performance-per-watt delivering exceptional battery life. | |||
