AMDAMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP Specifications
Radeon HD 8350G IGP GPU Core
Shader units and compute resources
The AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.
HD 8350G IGP Clock Speeds
GPU and memory frequencies
Clock speeds directly impact the Radeon HD 8350G IGP's performance in GPU benchmarks and real-world gaming. The base clock represents the minimum guaranteed frequency, while the boost clock indicates peak performance under optimal thermal conditions. Memory clock speed affects texture loading and frame buffer operations. The Radeon HD 8350G IGP by AMD dynamically adjusts frequencies based on workload, temperature, and power limits to maximize performance while maintaining stability.
AMD's Radeon HD 8350G IGP Memory
VRAM capacity and bandwidth
VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory for storing textures, frame buffers, and shader data. The Radeon HD 8350G IGP's memory capacity determines how well it handles high-resolution textures and multiple displays. Memory bandwidth, measured in GB/s, affects how quickly data moves between the GPU and VRAM. Higher bandwidth improves performance in memory-intensive scenarios like 4K gaming. The memory bus width and type (GDDR6, GDDR6X, HBM) significantly influence overall GPU benchmark scores.
HD 8350G IGP Theoretical Performance
Compute and fill rates
Theoretical performance metrics provide a baseline for comparing the AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP against other graphics cards. FP32 (single-precision) performance, measured in TFLOPS, indicates compute capability for gaming and general GPU workloads. FP64 (double-precision) matters for scientific computing. Pixel and texture fill rates determine how quickly the GPU can render complex scenes. While real-world GPU benchmark results depend on many factors, these specifications help predict relative performance levels.

About AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP
AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP is an integrated graphics processor from AMD, built on the TeraScale 3 architecture and fabricated on a 32 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It was released in March 2013 and is now end-of-life, succeeding the TeraScale 2 IGP and preceding the GCN 2.0 IGP. The chip, codenamed Scrapper Lite, integrates 1,303 million transistors on a 246 mm² die, with a density of 5.3M transistors per mm². Operating at a base clock of 514 MHz and a boost clock of 720 MHz, the IGP has a TDP of 35 W and is designed for portable devices, with display outputs dependent on the host system.
Benchmark Performance
The AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP holds a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs, placing it squarely in the middle of the performance distribution. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, which indicates that it does not generate meaningful standalone performance metrics in the database, a consequence of its integrated nature and reliance on shared system resources. This positioning suggests the IGP is not designed for demanding workloads but rather for basic graphical output and light computing tasks.
The compute capabilities are modest: the IGP features 128 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 raster output units. Its pixel rate is 2.880 GPixel/s and texture rate is 5.760 GTexel/s, while floating-point performance is rated at 184.3 GFLOPS for FP32 operations. These figures reflect a design focused on efficiency rather than raw throughput. With a boost clock of 720 MHz, the IGP can handle simple 2D rendering and video playback, but it will struggle with any modern 3D applications. The absence of RT cores and tensor cores confirms there is no dedicated hardware for ray tracing or AI acceleration, further limiting its scope to legacy and basic tasks. Because the nearestRivals array is empty in the data, no direct percentage comparisons against competing products can be made; the percentile ranking is the sole relative metric available.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem of the AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP is entirely system-shared, meaning it does not possess dedicated VRAM. The memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as "System Shared," with bandwidth described as "System Dependent." This design choice is typical for integrated graphics, where the GPU borrows from the host system's main memory rather than having its own pool of fast, dedicated memory. Consequently, performance at high resolutions is heavily contingent on the speed and capacity of the system RAM installed in the portable device.
The implications for high-resolution gaming are significant. Since the memory clock is also listed as "System Shared," the effective bandwidth available to the IGP fluctuates based on the memory controller and RAM frequency of the host system. In practical terms, this means the HD 8350G IGP will deliver inconsistent frame rates when tasked with higher resolutions, as the shared bus competes with CPU operations for memory access. The 4 ROPs further constrain fill-rate intensive scenarios, making 1080p gaming largely impractical. The IGP is better suited for low-resolution output or basic desktop usage, where memory pressure is minimal. The lack of a fixed bus width and bandwidth figure in the data underscores the variability; the user's system configuration ultimately dictates the memory performance envelope.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals array is empty for the AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP, providing no direct competitor names, scores, or deltaPct values to reference. The database does not list any comparable integrated or discrete GPUs with which to draw a performance comparison. This absence of data makes it impossible to quantify its standing relative to specific rival products. The only available comparative metric is the 50th percentile ranking, which places it at the median of all GPUs included in the database. This percentile suggests that while the IGP is not an outlier at the bottom of the performance spectrum, it also does not approach the capabilities of even entry-level discrete graphics solutions. Without rival data, any assertion about relative performance must be tempered by the understanding that the database offers no granular comparison points.

Who Should Consider It
The AMD Radeon HD 8350G IGP is intended for users of portable devices who require basic graphical output without the power draw or thermal footprint of a discrete GPU. With a TDP of 35 W and a slot width of IGP, it is integrated directly into the system, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops or compact notebooks where battery life and heat dissipation are priorities. Given its 50th percentile ranking and negligible average benchmark score, the IGP is not recommended for gaming at any modern resolution or settings level. Users should consider it for everyday productivity tasks, such as web browsing, office applications, and video playback, where its 2.880 GPixel/s pixel rate is sufficient.
For those who might attempt light gaming, the data indicates that the IGP will only handle very old or indie titles at low resolutions and minimal settings, and even then, performance will be inconsistent due to the system-dependent memory bandwidth. The 184.3 GFLOPS FP32 throughput is a hard ceiling on compute performance, ruling out any serious 3D rendering or GPU-accelerated workloads. The absence of dedicated hardware for ray tracing or tensor operations further cements its role as a basic display adapter. In summary, the HD 8350G IGP is a legacy component that should be considered only for non-demanding, low-resolution use cases where the convenience of an integrated solution outweighs the need for graphical horsepower.
