But before you get lost in a world of techie jargon, here are some of the more important ones to keep in mind. Just like your laptop, your GPU comes with a set of specs. GPU Specs: Cores, Base Clock and Memory Speed The more powerful the chip, the higher the number. That means that even though the company has worked its way up to it 8th-generation Kaby Lake processors, the corresponding integrated GPUs are rocking model numbers in the 600s (example: Intel HD Graphics 630) rather than 700.
Unlike their CPUs, Intel GPUs don't follow the serial-number-naming convention. And if you see an X at the end, it means that you've got the faster version of the original GPU. The last number in the series represents the revision number. The next digit corresponds to the performance tier with the higher numbers representing higher performance levels. The number directly after represents the generation (the higher the number, the newer the generation).
However, for the 400 series, the current generation, AMD has ditched the M designation and labeled every chip in the lineup RX regardless of performance capability. The "M" placed before the second batch of numbers represents mobility and designates that the chip is for mobile devices, such as laptops and tablets. R5 and R3 refer to the company's entry-level chips. For instance, the R9 suffix represents AMD's high-performance line, while R7 is more midtier. AMD GPUs typically carry the Radeon moniker followed by a prefix, which designates the chip's performance.
