can decode a H264 1080p video at up to 40 fps. Its direct predecessor, the GMA X4500, featured 10 EUs at 800 MHz, but it lacked some capabilities. Gen6 architecture Sandy Bridge In January 2011, the Sandy Bridge processors were released, introducing the "second generation" HD Graphics: Sandy Bridge Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2000 or HD 3000. HD Graphics 2000 and 3000 include hardware video encoding and HD postprocessing effects. Gen7 architecture Ivy Bridge On 24 April 2012, Ivy Bridge was released, introducing the "third generation" of Intel's HD graphics: Ivy Bridge Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2500 or HD 4000. HD Graphics 2500 and 4000 include hardware video encoding and HD postprocessing effects. For some low-power mobile CPUs there is limited video decoding support, while none of the desktop CPUs have this limitation. HD P4000 is featured on the Ivy Bridge E3 Xeon processors with the 12X5 v2 descriptor, and supports unbuffered ECC RAM. Gen7.5 architecture Haswell In June 2013, Haswell CPUs were announced, with four models of integrated GPUs: The 128 MB of eDRAM in the Iris Pro GT3e is in the same package as the CPU, but on a separate die manufactured in a different process. Intel refers to this as a Level 4 cache, available to both CPU and GPU, naming it Crystalwell. The Linux drm/i915 driver is aware and capable of using this eDRAM since kernel version 3.12. Gen8 architecture Broadwell In November 2013, it was announced that Broadwell-K desktop processors (aimed at enthusiasts) would also carry Iris Pro Graphics. The following models of integrated GPU are announced for Broadwell processors: Braswell Gen9 architecture Skylake The Skylake line of processors, launched in August 2015, retires VGA support, while supporting multi-monitor setups of up to three monitors connected via HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 or Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.3 interfaces. The following models of integrated GPU are available or announced for the Skylake processors: Apollo Lake The Apollo Lake line of processors was launched in August 2016. Gen9.5 architecture Kaby Lake The Kaby Lake line of processors was introduced in August 2016. New features: speed increases, support for 4K UHD "premium" (DRM encoded) streaming services, media engine with full hardware acceleration of 8- and 10-bit HEVC and VP9 decode.
