PredecessorIntel GMA

Intel Graphics Technology (GT) is a series of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) designed by Intel. The graphics processor is integrated into the processor package, either on the same die as the central processing unit (CPU) or on a separate die or tile. The series was introduced in 2010 as Intel HD Graphics, succeeding Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA). Intel introduced the Intel UHD Graphics name in 2017.

Intel has also used the Iris, Iris Pro, Iris Plus and Iris Xe brands for integrated graphics. Some Iris Pro and Iris Plus models include eDRAM. With Meteor Lake and subsequent Intel Core Ultra processors, integrated GPUs are sold under the Intel Graphics and Intel Arc brands.

Intel Xe architectures are used in both integrated and discrete GPUs. The Intel Arc name therefore does not by itself distinguish a processor's integrated graphics from a separate graphics card. Integrated Arc products include the 130V and 140V in Lunar Lake, the 130T and 140T in Arrow Lake-H, and the B370 and B390 in Panther Lake.

History

Core i5 processor with integrated HD Graphics 2000

Before the introduction of Intel HD Graphics, Intel integrated graphics were built into the motherboard's northbridge, as part of the Intel's Hub Architecture. They were known as Intel Extreme Graphics and Intel GMA. As part of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) design, the northbridge was eliminated and graphics processing was moved into the processor package.

The previous Intel integrated graphics solution, Intel GMA, had a reputation of lacking performance and features, and therefore was not considered to be a good choice for more demanding graphics applications, such as 3D gaming. The performance increases brought by Intel's HD Graphics made the products competitive with integrated graphics adapters made by its rivals, Nvidia and ATI/AMD.

Generations

Earlier Intel HD and Iris Graphics are divided into generations and, within a generation, into tiers denoted by the 'GTx' label. Each generation corresponds to the implementation of a Gen graphics microarchitecture with a corresponding GEN instruction set architecture since Gen4.

Later Xe-based products use architecture names such as Xe-LP, Xe-LPG, Xe2 and Xe3. Xe-cores contain vector engines, but the number and capabilities of these engines vary between architectures.

Gen5 architecture

Westmere

In January 2010, Clarkdale and Arrandale processors with Ironlake graphics were released, and branded as Celeron, Pentium, or Core with HD Graphics. There was only one specification: 12 execution units, up to 43.2 GFLOPS at 900 MHz. It can decode a H.264 1080p video at up to 40 fps.

Its direct predecessor, the GMA X4500, featured 10 EUs at 800 MHz, but it lacked some capabilities.

Ivy Bridge Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2500 or HD 4000. HD Graphics 2500 and 4000 include hardware video encoding and HD postprocessing effects.

For some low-power mobile CPUs there is limited video decoding support, while none of the desktop CPUs have this limitation. HD P4000 is featured on the Ivy Bridge E3 Xeon processors with the 12X5 v2 descriptor, and supports unbuffered ECC RAM.

Gen7.5 architecture

Haswell

Intel Haswell i7-4771 CPU, which contains integrated HD Graphics 4600 (GT2)

In June 2013, Haswell CPUs were announced, with four tiers of integrated GPUs:

The 128 MB of eDRAM in the Iris Pro GT3e is in the same package as the CPU, but on a separate die manufactured in a different process. Intel refers to this as a Level 4 cache, available to both CPU and GPU, naming it Crystalwell. The Linux drm/i915 driver is aware and capable of using this eDRAM since kernel version 3.12.

Gen8 architecture

Broadwell

In November 2013, it was announced that Broadwell-K desktop processors (aimed at enthusiasts) would also carry Iris Pro Graphics.

Wildcat Lake graphics are manufactured on Intel 18A. The platform supports up to three displays, with DisplayPort HBR3, HDMI 2.0b TMDS and eDP 1.5 interfaces. It supports AV1 encoding and decoding, but not VVC hardware encoding or decoding.

Intel uses the Arc brand for both processor graphics and discrete GPUs. Arc A-series and B-series are discrete graphics families; the B-series cards use Xe2 architecture, codenamed Battlemage. Intel announced the Arc B580 and B570 on 3 December 2024. The B580 became available on 13 December 2024, followed by the B570 on 16 January 2025.

The power figures are Intel’s listed total board power; Intel separately lists a 120–200 W range for the B60 and a 160–290 W range for the B70.

Features

Intel Insider

Beginning with Sandy Bridge, the graphics processors include a form of digital copy protection and digital rights management (DRM) called Intel Insider, which allows decryption of protected media within the processor. Previously there was a similar technology called Protected Audio Video Path (PAVP).

HDCP

Intel Graphics Technology supports the HDCP technology, but the actual HDCP support depends on the computer's motherboard.[citation needed]

Intel Quick Sync Video

Intel Quick Sync Video is Intel's hardware video encoding and decoding technology, which is integrated into some of the Intel CPUs. The name "Quick Sync" refers to the use case of quickly transcoding ("syncing") a video from, for example, a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to a format appropriate to, for example, a smartphone. Quick Sync was introduced with the Gen 6 in Sandy Bridge microprocessors on 9 January 2011.

Graphics Virtualization Technology

Graphics Virtualization Technology (GVT) was announced 1 January 2014 and introduced at the same time as Intel Iris Pro. Intel integrated GPUs support the following sharing methods:

Intel identifies Gen9 graphics as the last generation supported by its software-based GVT-g solution. Its documentation distinguishes GVT-g from hardware-based SR-IOV, which is available on specified newer platforms; the presence of one does not imply support for the other.

Multiple monitors

Ivy Bridge

HD 2500 and HD 4000 GPUs in Ivy Bridge CPUs are advertised as supporting three active monitors, but this only works if two of the monitors are configured identically, which covers many but not all three-monitor configurations. The reason for this is that the chipsets only include two phase-locked loops (PLLs) for generating the pixel clocks timing the data being transferred to the displays.

Therefore, three simultaneously active monitors can only be achieved when at least two of them share the same pixel clock, such as:

  • Using two or three DisplayPort connections, as they require only a single pixel clock for all connections. Passive adapters from DisplayPort to some other connector do not count as a DisplayPort connection, as they rely on the chipset being able to emit a non-DisplayPort signal through the DisplayPort connector. Active adapters that contain additional logic to convert the DisplayPort signal to some other format count as a DisplayPort connection.
  • Using two non-DisplayPort connections of the same connection type (for example, two HDMI connections) and the same clock frequency (like when connected to two identical monitors at the same resolution), so that a single unique pixel clock can be shared between both connections.

Another possible three-monitor solution uses the Embedded DisplayPort on a mobile CPU (which does not use a chipset PLL at all) along with any two chipset outputs.

Haswell

ASRock Z87- and H87-based motherboards support three displays simultaneously. Asus H87-based motherboards are also advertised to support three independent monitors at once.

Recent processor graphics

The number of supported displays and the available display interfaces vary by processor. The following are processor limits; the connectors and combinations available on a computer depend on its implementation. Maximum resolutions also depend on the selected interface and display configuration.

Recent processor graphics and driver support

API support depends on the GPU, operating system and driver. Intel’s Windows graphics driver 32.0.101.9030, released on 17 September 2026, lists DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.4, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0. Its supported-platform list includes Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Arrow Lake, Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake, as well as Arc A-series, Arc B-series and the listed Arc Pro B-series cards. The release is non-WHQL.

Support for DirectX 12 does not guarantee support for every optional feature or feature level. Intel, via their release notes, requires applications to query optional feature support.

DirectX designations in selected recent Intel product specifications
Platform / graphics Intel’s listed DirectX support References
Meteor Lake / Arc graphics 12.2
Arrow Lake-H / Arc 130T and 140T 12.2
Lunar Lake / Arc 130V and 140V 12.2
Arrow Lake-S and HX / Intel Graphics (selected models) 12
Panther Lake / Intel Graphics, Arc B370 and B390 (selected models) DirectX 12 Ultimate
Wildcat Lake / Intel Graphics 12

The numerical entries above reproduce Intel’s product-specification labels; they are not declarations of a separate DirectX 12.2 runtime. Product pages may also retain API values different from those in later driver releases. For example, Intel lists OpenGL 4.5 for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, while the cited Windows driver release lists OpenGL 4.6.

Linux graphics and compute drivers

Support in Mesa is provided by two Gallium3D-style drivers, with the Iris driver supporting Broadwell hardware and later, while the Crocus driver supports Haswell and earlier. The classic Mesa i965 driver was removed in Mesa 22.0, although it would continue to see further maintenance as part of the Amber branch.

Intel’s open-source Graphics Compute Runtime, also called NEO, implements OpenCL and oneAPI Level Zero. Its supported-platform table lists OpenCL 3.0 for the Xe-based platforms from Tiger Lake through Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake. Gen8, Gen9 and Gen11 support is distributed separately in packages with the legacy1 suffix. The legacy table does not list Level Zero support for every OpenCL-capable platform.

Mesa also provides Rusticl, an OpenCL implementation over Gallium drivers. Device exposure and default enablement depend on the Mesa build, driver and runtime configuration.

Capabilities (GPU video acceleration)

Intel developed a dedicated SIP core which implements multiple video decompression and compression algorithms branded Intel Quick Sync Video. Some are implemented completely, some only partially.

  111. 1 2 Larabel, Michael (2011-10-06). "Details On Intel Ivy Bridge Triple Monitor Support". Phoronix. A limitation of this triple monitor support for Ivy Bridge is that two of the pipes need to share a PLL. Ivy Bridge has three planes, three pipes, three transcoders, and three FDI (Flexible Display Interface) interfaces for this triple monitor support, but there's only two pipe PLLs. This means that two of the three outputs need to have the same connection type and same timings. However, most people in a triple monitor environment will have at least two — if not all three — of the monitors be identical and configured the same, so this shouldn't be a terribly huge issue.
  112. ↑ Nilsson, L.G. (2012-03-12). "Most desktop Ivy Bridge systems won't support three displays". VRZone. Archived from the original on 2012-04-01. Despite the fact that Intel has been banging its drums about support for up to three displays on the upcoming 7-series motherboards in combination with a shiny new Ivy Bridge based CPU, this isn't likely to be the case. The simple reason behind this is that very few, if any motherboards will sport a pair of DisplayPort connectors.
  113. 1 2 Galus, David (February 2013). "Migration to New Display Technologies on Intel Embedded Platforms" (PDF). Intel. Archived from the original (PDF) on 2013-02-01. The Intel 7 Series Chipset based platform allows for the support of up to three concurrent displays with independent or replicated content. However, this comes with the requirement that either one of the displays is eDP running off the CPU or two DP interfaces are being used off the PCH. When configuring the 2 DP interfaces from the PCH, one may be an eDP if using Port D. This limitation exists because the 7 Series Intel PCH contains only two display PLLs (the CPU has one display PLL also) which will control the clocking for the respective displays. All display types other than DP have an external variable clock frequency associated with the display resolution that is being used. The DP interface has an embedded clocking scheme that is semi- variable, either at 162 or 270 MHz depending on the bandwidth required. Therefore, Intel only allows sharing of a display PLL with DP related interfaces. Alt URL
