About AMD Radeon HD 8510 OEM
The AMD Radeon HD 8510 OEM is an end-of-life, OEM-specific graphics card from AMD, built on the Redwood chip and the TeraScale 2 architecture. It was released on 2013-04-23, belongs to the Sea Islands (HD 8500) generation, and sits between Southern Islands and Volcanic Islands in the product sequence. TSMC fabricates the GPU on a 40 nm process with 627 million transistors on a 104 mm² die, a transistor density of 6.0M/mm². The logical units are 400 shading units, 20 TMUs, and 8 ROPs. The card is rated at 39 W TDP. The fact pack lists no series and no codename for this product, and the average benchmark score is 0 with a 50th percentile rank among all GPUs.
Power and Cooling
The TDP of 39 W is the central power figure. It is paired with a suggested PSU of 200 W and no power connectors, meaning the card draws its supply current from the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot. The process node is 40 nm, and the 627 million transistors are packed into a 104 mm² die, yielding 6.0M/mm². The mechanical spec is a single-slot card with a length of 165 mm (6.5 inches); height and width are not listed.
A 39 W envelope is small enough that the cooling requirement is light, although the fact pack does not describe the actual cooler. The 200 W PSU recommendation is therefore a whole-system guideline rather than a card-only requirement. For an OEM build, the absence of auxiliary power connectors simplifies cabling, and the single-slot width aids fitment in dense chassis.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The feature set is fixed by the TeraScale 2 architecture and the Redwood chip. The rtCores and tensorCores fields contain no values, so there is no dedicated ray tracing or tensor core hardware in this specification. The generation is Sea Islands (HD 8500), with Southern Islands as the predecessor and Volcanic Islands as the successor.
API support covers DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4; Vulkan is not listed. The display outputs are 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.3a, and 1x VGA, providing both digital and analog connectivity. The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16. No series or codename is populated. The absence of Vulkan support and the DirectX 11_0 feature level define the software limits of the card.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem is small and narrow. The frame buffer is 1024 MB of GDDR3, wired to a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 500 MHz, which the fact pack records as 1000 Mbps effective, and the resulting bandwidth is 16.00 GB/s.
For high-resolution work, this is the limiting specification. 1 GB of GDDR3 cannot hold large texture sets, and 16.00 GB/s cannot move large amounts of pixel data quickly. The GPU's pixel rate of 5.200 GPixel/s and texture rate of 13.00 GTexel/s are moderate, but the memory bus is narrower than those rates might suggest. With 400 shading units, 20 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, the compute side is not the main constraint; the memory path is. At high resolutions, the 128-bit bus and 16.00 GB/s bandwidth will bind first.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals array is empty. This is the definitive comparison fact: no rival GPU has been catalogued alongside this card, so no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values exist. The only global positional metric is percentileVsAllGpus, which equals 50. That places the HD 8510 OEM at the median of the database's GPU population.
The avgBenchmarkScore is 0, and the benchmarks array is empty, so no measured workload score can anchor a comparison. Without nearest rivals, the usual per-rival paragraphs cannot be written. The single signal is the 50th percentile: half of the GPUs in the database rank above this card and half rank below. No specific competitor is selected for a direct comparison, and no percentage advantage or deficit is available.
Benchmark Performance
Benchmark records for the HD 8510 OEM are absent. The benchmarks array is empty, avgBenchmarkScore is 0, and nearestRivals is empty, so there are no exact percentage deltas to report. The quantitative performance profile comes from specified peak rates: 520.0 GFLOPS of FP32 compute, 13.00 GTexel/s of texture fill, and 5.200 GPixel/s of pixel fill. These figures are supported by 400 shading units, 20 TMUs, and 8 ROPs.
No FP16 figure is given, and no base, boost, or game clock appears in the fact pack; the memory clock of 500 MHz / 1000 Mbps effective is the only clock listed. The 50th percentile rank is a positional statement, not a score. In the absence of measured benchmarks or named rivals, performance analysis can only reference the specification-derived rates. The card's median percentile suggests a middle-of-the-road standing among all GPUs, but without rival deltas, that standing cannot be converted into a percentage comparison.
