Integrated Graphics

All recent Intel processors have an integrated graphics core on the CPU die. This gives people with a limited budget a low-cost solution by buying both a processor and a graphics card as one - at a lower combined price.

Most Integrated Graphics Processing Units nowadays match the performance of low-end graphics cards, which makes them of great value for the money, especially if you still enjoy watching videos and playing some games.

Using the same integrated graphics processing unit doesn't mean that you can get the same results, but the results are, in our case, similar. Both processors use the Intel HD 4000 iGPU, but the i7-3770K still beats the i5-3570K by 50-60 points.

The results are quite similar to 3DMark Vantage, but we see a slightly bigger difference between the two CPUs.
