Intel HD Graphics

Intel HD Graphics is a series of Intel integrated graphics processors built into computer processors.

History

Before the introduction of Intel HD Graphics, Intel integrated graphics were built into the motherboard's northbridge. This included Intel Extreme Graphics and the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. As part of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) design, the northbridge was eliminated, and graphics processing was moved to the central processing unit (CPU).

In January, 2010, the Clarkdale and Arrandale processors were released with HD Graphics, and branded as Celeron, Pentium, or Core. The following year the "second generation" was released as Sandy Bridge.
