Graphics Performance
The T400 4GB scores 3,803 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU117), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.094 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1425 MHz from a base of 420 MHz.
