Intel's HD Graphics 505 graphics core is responsible for graphics output. The GPU supports DirectX 12 and works at a clock rate of up to 750 MHz. The graphic core also is based on a new architecture. While the predecessor (HD Graphics 405) still used Intel's Broadwell architecture, the HD Graphics 505 GPU is based on the Skylake architecture. Thus, the new GPU performs better in the 3DMark benchmarks than its predecessor. The CPU and GPU combination in the ES1-332 achieves about the same results in single-channel mode than the predecessor (e.g. in the TravelMate B117-M) in dual-channel mode.
Hence, there is still room for improvements in the ES1-332: Its memory controller also supports dual-channel mode. Hence, graphic performance will increase with dual-channel RAM. However, we could not test this, since the Aspire only has a single RAM slot.
