I bought a prebuilt PC and the specs on the site and on the box both say CPU: Intel I7-12700f. And from what i have seen that CPU does not have an IGPU so why is my computer detecting and able to use the UHD 770 IGPU?
Sorry if its a dumb question im new to the PC world.
Not really. Only difference is the lack of iGPU, in theory MAYBE some lower heat OUTPUT & perhaps some cache differences, but they’re all more theoretical then real. I’ve never seen anyone even measure any differences between the iGPU and non-iGPU versions.
Really an iGPU is a great power save, and can improve performance of low intensity tasks like video Playback etc. As well as offloading a secondary monitor to the iGPU and running background tasks etc. All in all an iGPU is an objective upgrade in the real world.
Like MAYBE if you’re extremely cache and ram limited it MIGHT in theory make a difference but far far far more factors are far more important than iGPU vs non-iGPU versions.
