Depending on the type of workstation you’re building, you might consider a CPU with integrated graphics. This means that, instead of a separate dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU), it comes integrated into the processor.
For most entry-level desktop PCs, CPUs that have integrated graphics are good enough. As long as you’re not a designer or work in IT solutions, opting for a CPU with integrated graphics is usually a more budget-friendly choice. Here’s what to know about choosing the right CPU with integrated graphics.
What are the benefits of integrated graphics?
As mentioned, CPUs with integrated graphics are often more budget-friendly, but that’s not the only perk. Because the device is only pulling power from one card, they don’t consume as much power overall and don’t generate as much heat. Both of these factors reduce the load on the computer and therefore allow you to save power, which in turn extends the battery life in hours, which can be a huge plus for those who are taking their laptop on-the-go and need to extend the battery life for a few more hours without charging.
Is an integrated graphics card okay for gaming and work?
It depends on the type of gaming and work that you do. For basic everyday tasks, word processing, light photo and video editing, and some gaming, an integrated graphics card works just fine. In fact, the 13” Apple Macbook Pro 2020 comes only with integrated graphics, as do the Dell XPS 13 and Acer Swift 7. Upgrading to a discreet or dedicated graphics card is only necessary if you’re a pro gamer, a professional designer, or work in IT solutions.
How to measure performance
If you’ve decided that integrated graphics are suitable enough for your everyday use, it’s time to compare CPUs that suit your needs. You can do this by taking a look at a few benchmark tests. UserBenchmark, Geekbench, Cinebench, and PassMark are all excellent CPU benchmarks to look at when comparing CPUs. It’s important to note that devices and actions that only require a single-core, including playing games and working with basic programs, will rely more on the single-core score. For heavily-threaded games, you'll need to look for a CPU that has a higher multi-core score to ensure that the processor can support the workload.
