About AMD Radeon HD 8670D IGP
The AMD Radeon HD 8670D IGP is an integrated graphics processor built on the TeraScale 3 architecture, manufactured on a 32 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It integrates 1,303 million transistors on a 246 mm² die, with a transistor density of 5.3 million per square millimeter. Released on March 11, 2013, it belongs to the TeraScale 3 IGP (Richland) generation and sits at the 50th percentile of all GPUs in the database, though no benchmark scores are recorded for it (average score 0). As an IGP, it uses system-shared memory, and its performance is heavily dependent on the host system's memory bandwidth.
Who Should Consider It
The Radeon HD 8670D IGP is aimed at users who require basic graphics acceleration without a discrete card. Its 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs deliver theoretical pixel and texture rates of 6.752 GPixel/s and 20.26 GTexel/s, respectively. These figures place it in the entry-level tier of integrated graphics, suitable for everyday tasks such as desktop compositing, video playback, and light 3D workloads. The FP32 performance of 648.2 GFLOPS reinforces this positioning, indicating a part that can handle modest compute tasks but is not intended for high-end gaming.
Given the system-shared memory architecture, actual performance will vary significantly based on the speed and configuration of the host RAM. The memory bandwidth is listed as "system dependent," meaning the IGP has no dedicated VRAM and must compete with the CPU for memory access. Consequently, the HD 8670D is best suited for low-resolution gaming (e.g., 720p or lower) with reduced detail settings, though the database does not provide specific resolution or settings guidance. The 50th percentile ranking suggests it is an average performer among all GPUs in the database, but that ranking is based on the overall distribution, not on direct benchmark results. Users who need more consistent frame rates or higher fidelity will likely need a discrete GPU.
Power and Cooling
The thermal design power (TDP) of the Radeon HD 8670D IGP is rated at 100 W. This is a relatively high figure for an integrated solution, indicating that adequate system cooling is necessary to prevent thermal throttling. As an IGP, the slot width is listed as "IGP," and the bus interface is also "IGP," meaning it is soldered to the motherboard and does not occupy a standard expansion slot. No power connectors are specified, and no suggested PSU is provided; power is drawn from the motherboard's power delivery system. The display outputs are "motherboard dependent," so the available video connectors (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA) vary by motherboard model. The production status is end-of-life, so this part is no longer in active manufacture, but systems built around it will rely on the motherboard's cooling solution for the IGP portion.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The Radeon HD 8670D IGP does not include dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores; both fields are null in the specification. Its API support includes DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4, but no Vulkan support is listed. This means the IGP is limited to older graphics APIs and cannot take advantage of modern features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing or variable-rate shading. The TeraScale 3 architecture does not have any specialized AI or compute units beyond the standard shader array. The 384 shading units handle both vertex and pixel processing, while the 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs manage texturing and pixel output. The theoretical pixel rate of 6.752 GPixel/s and texture rate of 20.26 GTexel/s are modest, but they are consistent with an integrated part from the 2013 era. Users expecting modern feature sets (e.g., Vulkan, RT) will be disappointed; this IGP is best for legacy applications that rely on DirectX 11 or OpenGL 4.4.
