Integrated Graphics Performance



With the Zen 4 architecture, AMD is finally adding an integrated graphics capability to all its processors. Historically Intel has offered IGP for many years in their processors, while AMD did not, which gave Intel an advantage for simple office PCs that will never see any sort of gaming.

The Ryzen 7000 integrated graphics are based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture (same as Radeon RX 5000 Series). AMD's goal with this IGP is not to provide gaming-grade performance, but to enable corporate users running 2D desktop applications like Windows, Word, Excel, and similar light-weight apps. The integrated graphics will also come in handy for troubleshooting, as you can boot and use your system without a discrete graphics card—useful in case of GPU RMA, too. Last but not least, the IGP has hardware encode/decode capabilities that can be used even when a discrete graphics card is installed, which could help offload some transcoding work from the GPU.

The IGP unit is physically located inside the IO die, not in the compute die(s). Two RDNA 2 compute units offer a total of 128 cores, the GPU is clocked at a fixed 2.2 GHz. It uses the standard AMD Radeon Graphics drivers, but overclocking is not supported. All Zen 4 SKUs have the same IGP configuration.

All the games on this page are running at their lowest possible detail setting (benchmarks on the "RTX 3080" pages use maximum settings, so they are not really comparable).
