In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon HD 8570D are marginally better than the Intel HD Graphics 510 Desktop.

The Radeon HD 8570D has a 494 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the Graphics 510. This results in the Radeon HD 8570D providing 10.7 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The Radeon HD 8570D has a 494 MHz higher core clock speed and 4 more Render Output Units than the Graphics 510. This results in the Radeon HD 8570D providing 5.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Graphics 510 was released over a year more recently than the Radeon HD 8570D, and so the Graphics 510 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the Radeon HD 8570D.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop and the Radeon HD 8570D 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 4.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon HD 8570D, which means that the memory performance of the Graphics 510 is marginally better than the Radeon HD 8570D.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop has 12 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 8570D has 256. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics 510 is 101 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD 8570D is 140. The Radeon HD 8570D having 39 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon HD 8570D delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Graphics 510.

The Graphics 510 transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon HD 8570D. This means that the Graphics 510 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon HD 8570D. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the Graphics 510 should consume less power than the Radeon HD 8570D.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop requires 47 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 8570D requires 65 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Graphics 510. The Radeon HD 8570D requires 18 Watts more than the Graphics 510 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon HD 8570D to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Graphics 510.
