Graphics Performance
The HD Graphics 6000 scores 873 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Generation 8.0 (2014−2015) architecture (codename: Broadwell GT3), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 48 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 6 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.7296 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 950 MHz from a base of 300 MHz.
