Integrated GPU Review: Intel UHD Graphics G1

The Intel UHD Graphics G1 is an integrated graphics processor and is mainly found in low power processors G1-series processors. It is based on Ice Lake G1 Gen. 11 based on a 10nm manufacturing process. It can support 4K at 60Hz with a peak resolution support of 4096×2304 pixels and it can support up to a maximum of three displays with this graphics processor. When it comes the day to day tasks it is very capable of handling most of them however when it comes to much heavier workloads such a 3D rendering the UHD graphics G1 is not a good solution.

Real-World Performance:

The performance of Intel UHD Graphics G1 depends on a number of factors such as L3 cache size, ram configuration, boost clock speed, and core count of the CPU. The real performance of the UHD graphics G1 is significantly faster than its predecessor the UHD Graphics 620. In the case of synthetic benchmarks, it is almost 30 percent faster and 20 percent faster in gaming benchmarks.

How is Intel UHD Graphics G1 for Photo Editing

Image editing applications such as photoshop can run with integrated graphics and any workflow that can utilize GPU-acceleration will be at least twice as fast. So, if you are editing on a system with a 1080p display and you are not working with large files the G1 graphics should work smoothly. However, if have a 4k display or you are working with large files you will experience some lag.

How is Intel UHD Graphics G1 for Video Editing

It will work as when it comes to video editing CPU is far more important than GPU. However, when it comes to rendering those videos it will take a really long time and you will have a poor and frustrating experience in some cases.

Gaming Performance/Benchmarks 

The Intel UHD G1 Graphics should be able to handle most modern games that are not very graphic demanding such as League of Legends, Dota 2, Minecraft, CS: GO, GTA 5, and Fortnite. But consider this it only has 6 percent of the benchmark performance when compared with industry-leading Nvidia RTX 3090.
