Hi there,
Just a curiosity question really. Intel are always getting slated for their integrated graphics, so I've always kind of not thought about it. However, I regularly check out new cards etc on Techarp's comparison:

In this, take for instance the Intel 630 integrated graphics - I know it depends on which CPU it is on, but generally gets 1.05-3GT/s. If you compare this to the Vega 8 in a Ryzen 2200G with 35 GT/s, it appears horribly slow.
However, in benchmarks, the 630 generally get about 30% of the performance of the Vega8 - which would put it at about 10 GT/s. Also on numerous places over the web, people say it is comparable to a Radeon R5 240, which again would make approximate sense given the apparent performance as that graphics card was 15 GT/s.
Therefore, are Intel integrated graphics actually not too bad? For instance, last year I built my nephew a seriously budget PC - mainly for school work, but for the odd game here and there. Due to RAM prices at the time, and the tight budget I had, I ended up using a A6 7400K as that had a R5 IGP at about 12GT/s, which is fine for the odd blast on War Thunder. However, therefore, did I write Intel out a bit prematurely? Although of course, at that price point the integrated Intel IGP would of been the 610 or so, and so probably worse again......
Just curious really, Am I being way to hard on Intel???
Cheers!
