In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop are massively better than the Intel HD i5 670.
The Graphics 4600 was released over three years more recently than the HD i5 670, and so the Graphics 4600 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the HD i5 670 when running the latest games.
Neither the Graphics 4600 nor the HD i5 670 have an entry for video memory, so the two GPUs cannot be compared in this area.
The Graphics 4600 has 20 Shader Processing Units but the HD i5 670 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD Graphics 4600 Desktop requires 88 Watts to run and the HD i5 670 requires 73 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Graphics 4600. The Graphics 4600 requires 15 Watts more than the HD i5 670 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Graphics 4600 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the HD i5 670.

| Mini Review | Overview Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop are Integrated Graphics in some of Intel's Desktop Haswell Processors. Architecture The Haswell GT2 Core includes support for DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0. Additionally, it also offers better Decoding Performance, when compared to its Predecessors. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GT2 which offers 20 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 2 ROPs. The Central Unit Initially Runs at 200MHz and goes up to 1250MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU Shares the System's RAM which varies from System to System. Typically, the GPU reserves 1.7GB. Depending on whether or not the system's RAM is Dual-Channeled, it can access either a 64-bit or 128-bit memory interface. The operating memory clock also depends on which speed the System's RAM is running and is limited by the highest operating speed that the Processor supports. In this case, it is 800MHz. It is then obvious the Memory Bandwidth depends on a lot of factors and thus this Graphics Card performance may vary heavily from system to system. Performance The Most Powerful Variant Offers Performance similar to a dedicated GeForce GT 220. Select the Specific Version you have of this Graphics Card According to your Processor for a more Accurate Rank and experience using our tools. System Suggestions We recommend 4GB of RAM for a system with Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop. | Intel HD i5 670 is the graphics card that is built into the Intel Core i5 670 processor.
