In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) are massively better than the Intel HD i7 2670QM.
The Graphics Mobile was released over three years more recently than the HD i7 2670QM, 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 HD i7 2670QM when running the latest games.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) and the HD i7 2670QM have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The Graphics Mobile has 14.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the HD i7 2670QM, which means that the memory performance of the Graphics Mobile is slightly better than the HD i7 2670QM.
The Graphics Mobile has 12 Shader Processing Units but the HD i7 2670QM does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) requires 4 Watts to run but there is no entry for the HD i7 2670QM.

| 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. | HD i7 2670QM is a specific version of the Intel HD 3000 Graphics that comes with the CPU 'Intel Core i7-2670QM 4-Core 2.2GHz'. It uses the CPU's Level 3 Cache (up to 6 MB, in this case) + part of the RAM installed on the system up to a maximum of approximately 1.7GB for Vista/7 and 1 GB for XP. The Memory controller supports DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 and the Turbo Boost technology of the processor can over-clock the graphics card clock from 650MHz to 1100MHz. <r> Nevertheless it's still an integrated GPU with shared memory so its performance is very limited. Still, demanding games like Crysis 2 should still run on the lowest settings. | |||
