![]() What does the 3000 offer you? Twelve scalar execution units (EUs) running at a base clock speed of 650MHz. There are actually two versions of Intel's HD Graphics available on Sandy Bridge, but all current mobile versions of SNB come with the 3000 model. Note that the GPU core is integrated on-die.
