AMD Instinct MI100 vs Intel UHD Graphics 770: Comparison
AMD Instinct MI100 vs Intel UHD Graphics 770 boost clock compared
Expect a near tie. The closest thing to a difference is boost clock, AMD Instinct MI100 1502 MHz against Intel UHD Graphics 770 1450 MHz. They differ on memory type too, HBM2 on the AMD Instinct MI100 versus Shared System Memory on the Intel UHD Graphics 770. Compute blocks is not the same on both, 120 on the AMD Instinct MI100 versus 32 on the Intel UHD Graphics 770. Pcie generation is not the same on both, PCIe 4.0 on the AMD Instinct MI100 versus Not Applicable on the Intel UHD Graphics 770.
Which should you buy, AMD Instinct MI100 or Intel UHD Graphics 770?
The AMD Instinct MI100 is the one to take for buyers comparing AMD's official reference specifications and researching a chip before choosing a board-partner card, though it is the wrong buy for overclocking-focused enthusiasts (reference clocks only). Avoid it for buyers wanting a specific retail card with cooler and warranty details. Buy the Intel UHD Graphics 770 for office, productivity, and multi-monitor desktop use with no gaming requirement, though it is not the pick for any gaming beyond the lightest older or 2D titles. It is equally the pick for anyone who already knows they'll add a discrete card and just needs display output until then. It is the wrong buy for anyone comparing integrated GPU gaming capability, AMD's 780M/760M are meaningfully stronger. Our rating of the Intel UHD Graphics 770 (3/10): Intel's standard desktop integrated GPU across two CPU generations, fine for display output and productivity, not a gaming GPU by any measure.
