Processor Graphics
The processor graphics contains a generation 7.5 graphics core architecture. This
enables substantial gains in performance and lower power consumption over previous
generations. Up to 20 Execution Units are supported depending on the processor SKU.
• Next Generation Intel Clear Video Technology HD Support is a collection of video
playback and enhancement features that improve the end user’s viewing
experience
— Encode / transcode HD content
— Playback of high definition content including Blu-ray Disc*
— Superior image quality with sharper, more colorful images
— Playback of Blu-ray* disc S3D content using HDMI (1.4a specification
compliant with 3D)
• DirectX* Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for accelerating video processing
— Full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 HW Decode
• Advanced Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, XPDM support
• Windows* 8, Windows* 7, OSX, Linux* operating system support
• DirectX* 11.1, DirectX* 11, DirectX* 10.1, DirectX* 10, DirectX* 9 support.
• OpenGL* 4.0, support
• Switchable Graphics support on AIO platforms with MxM solutions only
Processor Graphics Controller (GT)
The New Graphics Engine Architecture includes 3D compute elements, Multi-format
HW assisted decode/encode pipeline, and Mid-Level Cache (MLC) for superior high
definition playback, video quality, and improved 3D performance and media.
The Display Engine handles delivering the pixels to the screen. GSA (Graphics in
System Agent) is the primary channel interface for display memory accesses and
“PCI-like” traffic in and out.
