Intel HD Graphics 4000

Gen7 (Ivy Bridge) · 2012

16 Cores Shared Memory Up to 1150 MHz Laptop

Launched alongside the 2012 Ivy Bridge CPU generation, HD Graphics 4000 moved Intel to its Gen7 architecture on a 22nm process, with 16 execution units clocked between 650 and 1150 MHz.

It was a meaningful step up from the Sandy Bridge-era HD 2000/3000, capable of light gaming and smoother video playback, though it's long since been surpassed - it's included here mainly for completeness and historical laptop spec lookups rather than as a chip anyone would buy new today.
