Bug reports : On the situation with Intel GMA HD 3000, 2000 and 1000 categories

[Rush]

Ticket ID: 1411

 

Priority: Medium

 

Currently we have 3 categories for actualy 2 (or 4, it depens on certain conditions) types of integrated graphics in Sandy Bridge processors.

1. IG of 2600K processor have 12 cores, Quick Sync support, 1350 Mhz turbo limit. Shows as "Intel GMA HD 3000 (GT2+)" in CPU-Z. Shows as HD 3000 by Intel graphic drivers.

2. IG of 2500K processor have 12 cores, Quick Sync support, 1100 Mhz turbo limit. Shows as "Intel GMA HD 2000 (GT2)" in CPU-Z. Shows as HD 3000 by Intel graphic drivers.

3. IGs of 2xxx series processors have 6 cores, Quick Sync support, 1100 Mhz turbo limit. Shows as "Intel GMA HD 1000 (GT1)" in CPU-Z. Shows as HD 2000 by Intel graphic drivers.

4. IGs of Pentium Gxxx processors have 6 cores, no Quick Sync support, 1100 Mhz turbo limit. Shows as "Intel GMA HD 1000 (GT1)" in CPU-Z. Shows as HD 2000 by Intel graphic drivers.

On the point of overclocking, IGs of 2600k and 2500k are identical. Maximum graphic turbo limit is on both unlockend and manualy controlled on H67 and Z68 chipsets. So, when CPU-Z shows "HD 3000 (GT2+)" or "HD 2000 (GT2)" - both must be placed in "Intel GMA HD 3000" category.

 

On other two sorts of IGs: AFAIK, no modern benchmark depends on or uses Intel Quick Sync technology, so IGs of Core-ix without K and Pentium Gxxx are identical for them and they must be placed in same category "Intel GMA HD 2000", disregard CPU-Z's "Intel GMA HD 1000 (GT1)" name.

 

But, if it is OK, that we have 3 categories named after CPU-Z names, then moderators must move all results, that is not on 2500k in HD 2000 category to HD 1000 category and for now on follow the simple rule:

2600k - HD 3000

2500K - HD 2000

other Sandy Bridge - HD 1000

ok, i renamed the categories a bit.

[Rush]

So, CPU-Z naming schema wins the round. Is it final decision?

Then, please move all 2500K results from "HD 3000 (2600K)" back to "HD 2000 (2500K)" category, including my results, that was moved there by Christian Ney yesterday.

I can't edit them back, it doesn't work, I will ask massman to do it

[Rush]

I'v send PM to Massman with all the story and links. Now i am waiting.

[Massman]

I can't really find any clear documentation that points to the existence of an GMA HD 1000 series.

 

Does someone have anything better than this wikipedia link? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_Graphics

[Rush]

It is merely a name gived by CPU-Z creators. And now it is category name too. Intel talks about HD3000 and HD2000 only.

If you make 2 categories according Intel marketing names - then OK, but now it is too complex for us all.

[Massman]

Yeah, we should follow the vendor guidelines. Those are official.

 

So, moving needs to be done ?

[Rush]

Then, no.

 

But other changes need to be done:

1. All submission from category HD 2000 must be moved to HD3000 (2500K or 2600K processor) or in HD 1000 (other SB processor).

2. HD 3000 category must be renamed to HD 3000 (2500K and 2600K) to clear, that 2500K has HD 3000, dispite of CPU-Z's "HD 2000 (GT2)" name.

3. Empty category HD 2000 must be removed and category HD 1000 must be named "HD 2000" or "HD 2000 (Sandy Bridge)", to clear, that all other processors have HD 2000, dispite of CPU-Z's "HD 1000 (GT1)" name.

4 All new results must be moved in 2 different categories, based on processor type, not CPU-Z or GPU-Z name.

 

It is all as i see it.

[Rush]

Yeah, we should follow the vendor guidelines. Those are official.

 

Then please organise categories for it. It is the reason of this ticket, not my 0.5 pt submissions.
