Introduction
Introduction
Intel HD Graphics is the next-generation graphics technology available on the nextgeneration Intel micro-architecture codenamed Ivy Bridge. Based on the 22nm
process technology with 3D Tri-Gate transistors, it provides improved graphics
performance compared to the previous Intel Celeron processor-based platforms. It
combines cutting-edge 3D graphics, improved HD visuals, advanced video capabilities
and enhanced display connectivity all built-in to the processor without the need of a
discrete graphics card. It integrates high-performance graphics and media processing
on the processor, putting two key embedded application components CPU
processing and graphics on a single chip.

Intel HD Graphics is graphics built into the CPU, providing superior performance over
previous generation Intel HD Graphics while creating additional headroom for
tomorrows embedded usages. It includes features such as accelerated graphics
processing, faster 3D rendering and complex shading for increased realism. It delivers
a competitive advantage, ideal to suit the needs of a broad embedded market whether
that is in the Retail, Digital Signage, Gaming, Industrial, Military, Aerospace,
Government, Digital Security/Surveillance or Medical segments.
Table 1 describes the new features introduced in the next-generation graphics engine
as well as those best suited for the embedded computing market. Table 2 describes
the existing built-in visual features in the 2nd Generation Intel Core processor. For
a comprehensive list of supported features, refer to the Intel Graphics Software for
Intel HD Graphics Family Product Requirements Document (PRD). The latest Intel
HD Graphics Driver packages are available for download at http://www.intel.com.

Notes:
1. Intel does not develop distribution specific drivers for Intel HD Graphics. All Linux
driver components are up-streamed to their respective repositories once a quarter.
Information on these components is posted on www.intellinuxgraphics.com under the
Downloads section. Distributions may pick up components as they choose.
2. Linux driver features represent only a subset of those supported by the Intel HD
Graphics driver. For additional information, visit www.intellinuxgraphics.com.
