Question Is this build in GPU more powerful? Intel HD Graphics 4000 vs AMD Radeon HD 6480G

[ave]

A friend of mine is running a HP pavilion G6 laptop, i5 2.5Ghz with a Radeon HD 6480G.
According to a quick search, the i5 2.5 seems to have a built in intel 4000 GPU. When comparing benchmarks, the Intel seems to come out on top. (I assume it's the intel 4000 mobile and not desktop) https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compa...e-125-GHz-vs-AMD-Radeon-HD-6480G/m7653vsm8221 I must be missing something here. why would they include a Radeon graphics card if it isn't as powerful as the built-in card?

You seem to be correct.

I am as puzzled as you are.

Thanks. At least I'm not reading it wrong. I bought 3dmark on the steam sale, so I'll run it on both and see what it says.

Are you sure that he is running an Intel CPU laptop that ALSO has a Radeon HD6480G GPU?

Or does he have an intel CPU with HD4000 graphics
Or an AMD CPU with Radeon graphics.

My understanding is the Radeon is an iGPU, not a dedicated one.
So your friend should only have one or the other, not both.

Sorry it took so long. I asked my friend to send a screenshots of his system to make sure, and it turns out I had the wrong specs. he has the Radeon 7450, and the HD3000. According to this the 7450 is slightly better. Not by much though. ie. 315 vs 330:

What's the exact model of the Pavillion G6?
Again I'm struggling to see a model which has BOTH of these in.
