If you have a single 4GB stick, upgrading to 8GB total is a good cheap upgrade path. If you can point us in the right direction. Something wrong with this post? Thanks for letting us know. I have not yet experience with replacing an HDD to a SSD, so I would love to hear about your experiences. To swap your HDD to a SSD, you need to know that your HDD is connected with a SATA3 (Serial ATA-600) connection. Make sure to purchase DDR4 RAM with a maximum speed of 2400MHz (DDR4-2400). The motherboard has 2 RAM slots, one 4G soldered on that is not upgradeable and one free DDR 4 slot.Īccording to different sources you could upgrade your RAM maximal up to 12GB by adding one 8GB RAM stick. Gameplays were recorded with help of a specialized capture card on another computer instead of using software recorders which can degrade system I assume you have the version with the i5-8250U CPU. Also, different processor models like the i3, i5 and i7, different thermal designs of laptops’ chassis, as well as BIOS settings, can influence performance of the Intel HD 520 and other integrated graphics processors. Keep in mind that laptops with single channel memory setups, with one RAM module instead of two or more, won’t have as good integrated graphics performance as the dual-channel ones. The tested machine had Windows 10 Home operating system and Intel HD 10. As expected, 4K, Full HD, and lower resolution videos run perfectly smooth on the Intel HD 520.įor this review, we used an HP Pavilion 15 15.6-inch Full HD laptop with the mid-range Intel Core i5-6200U processor with the Intel HD 520 graphics, 8GB of dual-channel system memory (2 x 4GB modules), and a standard 5,400rpm mechanical hard drive with 1TB capacity. What’s not visible in graphics rendering benchmarks, such as 3D Mark 11 below, is improved support for 4K content decoding, resulting in lower CPU use when you play these high-resolution videos. The GPU brings a slight performance improvement over the previous generation Intel HD 5500, primarily thanks to a bit higher clock speeds of 1,000 or 1050 MHz (depending on CPU model) instead of 900 MHz, as well as doubled number or ROP and TMU units.
These chips are typically used in the mainstream notebooks, ultraportables, and select lower-end gaming laptops.
The Intel HD 520 is a graphics processor you can find integrated in the 6th Generation Intel Core U-series “Skylake” CPUs, such as the popular Core i5-6200U and i7-6500U.
