In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD i5 2400 are significantly better than the Intel Q43 Express Chipset.
The HD i5 2400 was released over a year more recently than the Q43 Express Chipset, and so the HD i5 2400 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the Q43 Express Chipset.
Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.
Neither the Q43 Express Chipset nor the HD i5 2400 have an entry for video memory, so the two GPUs cannot be compared in this area.
Both the Q43 Express Chipset and the HD i5 2400 have 0 Shader Processing Units. The two GPUs are based on different architectures, but deliver an equivalent shader performance. To compare, we must continue to look at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.
The HD i5 2400 requires 95 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Q43 Express Chipset.

Mini Review | Intel Q43 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Intel Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Various Intel Chipsets come with the Intel GMA X4500 but this one (and the Q45) seem to deliver the best performance. However, due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is still very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low or medium settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are probably unplayable, even at the lowest settings. Note 1: Intel GMA X4500 does support DirectX 10 but even the most forgiving games might be unplayable due to the demand level. | HD i5 2400 is specific version of Intel HD Graphics 2000 that is built into the 'Intel Core i5 2400' processor. You can only play most of the latest games like Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Saints Row The Third, Battlefield 3, etc on the lowest settings, but you might experience a small lag. Less demanding games will run from medium to high settings. |
