Size and compatibility
Information on HD Graphics 6EU Mobile's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | Ring Bus |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on HD Graphics 6EU Mobile: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | System Shared | |
| Maximum RAM amount | System Shared | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
