What's the iGPU on the G3258?

[EcoBoost]

I was thinking of building a PC for someone's mom who just uses it for internet use, and the G3258 seems like a pretty good choice, because she's likely gonna pass it onto her son in a bit and he can upgrade a bunch of stuff with the paths that an Intel platform gives you.

 

Anyways, there won't be a graphics card in it for now, because obviously she doesn't need one, but what integrated graphics does the G3258 use? It just seems to be broadly labeled "Intel HD Graphics" just like all the other Pentium and Celeron chips, but what exactly is it? HD 4400? 4600?

Intel HD 4600

 

EDIT:  apparently just HD... 

[Maheshvara]

I think since it's a Haswell it's HD4600

I do believe it's a heavily stripped down HD4600 making it closer to HD4400

If it turbos to 1.1GHz then it might be HD 4400, but isn't 4400 designed for the U-series chips?

My understanding of it is that it has just intel hd graphics which is maybe slightly worse than 4400 or 4600 than can be found in the better i3,i5,or i7 product lines. Idk thats just a guess though.

yeah IDK

The G3258 runs GT1. To give you an understanding of how fast it is it's a little bit faster than the Athlon 5350 iGPU.

The G3258 runs GT1.

Seriously? Booooo

[harrynowl]

It's Haswell GT1.

 

10 shaders I believe.

 

Half of a 4600, lower clock also I believe.

I'm running onboard graphics with the G3258 on the Maximus Impact. Aida64 says the Display adapter is Intel HD Graphics.
