Why is there not a Graphics Base Frequency for Intel® Core™ i9-12950HX Processor?

  • The integrated Intel® processor graphics hardware doesn't use a separate memory bank for graphics/video. Instead, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) uses system memory. The Intel® graphics driver works with the operating system (OS) to make the best use of system memory across the Central Processing Units (CPUs) and GPU for a computer’s current workload.

The following steps may be used to view a Windows® 10 computer’s graphics memory configuration:

  1. Switch to the Windows* Desktop
  2. Right-click on a blank area of the desktop and select Display settings.

  3. Click Advanced display settings.

  5. The total available graphics memory is listed on the Adapter tab under Adapter Information.

NoteThe reported Shared System Memory is not an ongoing reservation of system memory. It's simply the limit of how much system memory the OS will allow graphics to use at a given time, on the given platform.

 

NoteBy default, the Intel graphics driver will report 128 MB of fictitious Dedicated Video Memory for compatibility with applications that don’t correctly comprehend a fully unified memory architecture. See Dedicated Memory Reporting for more information.

 

What is the Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency of Intel® Core™ i9-12950HX Processor?

  • The Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency is 1.55GHz. The Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency refers to the maximum opportunistic graphics render clock frequency (in MHz) that can be supported using Intel® HD Graphics with Dynamic Frequency feature. (This information is also available from the Intel® Core™ i9-12950HX Processor product specifications)

Why is there not a Graphics Video Max Memory for Intel® Core™ i9-12950HX Processor?

  • The actual maximum graphics memory limit reported by Windows can vary and is limited by OS to one-half of System Memory. The memory limit is dependent on non-Intel-controlled factors—for example, available system memory, BIOS, or system settings. For more detail on how Windows handles memory management, see Microsoft documentation for Graphics Memory Reporting through WDDM.
  • The actual amounts greatly depend on your computer configuration. The best place for obtaining information about your computer configuration is from the computer manufacturer. Your computer manufacturer can alter features, incorporate customizations, or make other changes that limit or reduce the actual maximum graphics memory.
