The presented model of the graphics processor appeared in the fall of 2008 and was present only in mobile computers, that is, laptops. However, according to the characteristics of the Intel GMA 4500MHD designed exclusively for office use. Due to the low bitness of the memory bus, only 64 bits, it cannot provide normal bandwidth, so it’s not worth it to run a Word on a laptop.
general information
The abbreviation GMA translates as "Graphic Media Accelerator", in other words, a graphics accelerator. The technological process is 65 nanometers, which indicates a low production potential, because the smaller the process technology, the more the graphics adapter can provide bandwidth. The following will present the specifications of the Intel GMA 4500MHD.
Detailed description of the characteristics of the mobile graphics adapter
The Intel GMA 4500MHD specifications point to the name of the graphics core that Intel named Cantiga. The company began to integrate graphics cores into processors only from the Core i series, so older versions of graphics adapters were integrated exclusively into motherboards.
The frequency of the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD video card is 533 megahertz. Rasterization blocks, as well as texture blocks, this GPU has only four. As for universal processors, their number is exactly 10 pieces.
For work with images Intel GMA 4500MHD uses the PCI E interface, which maximally exploits the resources of the graphics adapter. The Cantiga graphics core uses equal versions of vertex and pixel shaders (fourth version).
It is possible to connect multiple monitors, including the main screen of the laptop. This type of video card also supports DirectX technology of the tenth version, which greatly facilitates the exchange of data between the equipment and the operating system.
Memory characteristics
Since integrated mobile video cards do not have their own memory capacity, they use a similar resource using RAM. Laptops working with this graphics card have a maximum memory capacity of two gigabytes.
The format can be either DDR2 or DDR3. The frequency of working with DDR2 memory is 400 megahertz, and with DDR3 it is 533 megahertz. Working with the DDR2 memory type, the Intel GMA 4500MHD GPU produces 6.4 gigabytes per second of throughput. As for the type of DDR3 RAM, then the throughput is a little higher - 8.5 gigabytes per second.
Testing in games and programs
Despite the fact that mobile video cards are not designed to run computer games at all, it was worth checking its capabilities in several of them in order to fully consider the potential potential of this graphics card.
Testing in the benchmark program shows the performance of the video card, relying on the most powerful video card at the moment. That is, the program compares the video cards Intel GMA 4500MHD and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, where the assessment is carried out on a 100-point scale. Intel's graphics card shows an average performance of 0.08 points.
As for games, everything is not perfect here either, since even in games of 2012-2013 with low graphics settings and the lowest resolution, testers give out no more than 25 frames.
Notebook Samsung R530-JA07
The screen size of this mobile computer is 15.6 inches, which corresponds to the standard size of most laptops. Dimensional parameters are measured in millimeters: width - 358 mm, height - 269 mm, and thickness is 38 millimeters. The weight of this mobile computer is 2.7 kilograms.
The maximum screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is supported, which indicates the standard aspect ratio when the screen is divided into 16 x 9 blocks. The laptop also has a built-in webcam, the quality of which is 0.3 megapixels. When buying a laptop is provided with the installed operating system Windows 7 Home Basic.
The frequency of the installed processor reaches 2 gigahertz. The characteristics of the Intel GMA 4500MHD indicate that it does not have its own amount of memory, so the graphics adapter uses the amount of RAM of the laptop, which is two gigabytes.
The capacity of the provided hard drive is 250 gigabytes, which is enough to store data on an office laptop. Also available is a drive capable of writing and reading CD and DVD-RW discs.
Integrated interfaces include the presence of USB-ports, Wi-Fi adapter, HDMI output and a card reader for reading information from SD-cards.
