In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD Graphics 510 Desktop are significantly better than the AMD Radeon HD 7480D.

The Graphics 510 was released over three years more recently than the Radeon HD 7480D, and so the Graphics 510 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Radeon HD 7480D when running the latest games.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop and the Radeon HD 7480D have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The Graphics 510 has 8.5 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon HD 7480D, which means that the memory performance of the Graphics 510 is marginally better than the Radeon HD 7480D.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop has 12 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 7480D has 128. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics 510 is 101 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD 7480D is 60. The Graphics 510 having 41 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Graphics 510 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon HD 7480D.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop requires 47 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 7480D requires 65 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Graphics 510. The Radeon HD 7480D requires 18 Watts more than the Graphics 510 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon HD 7480D to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Graphics 510.
