In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD i5 2400 are significantly better than the Intel G43 Express Chipset.

The HD i5 2400 was released over a year more recently than the G43 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 G43 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 G43 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 G43 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 G43 Express Chipset requires 24 Watts to run and the HD i5 2400 requires 95 Watts. The HD i5 2400 requires 71 Watts more than the G43 Express Chipset to run. The difference is significant enough that the HD i5 2400 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the G43 Express Chipset.
