Lenovo M93 Ultra Small PC – Benchmarks – Week 2

Last Updated on April 19, 2021

The Lenovo M93 uses the Intel HD Graphics 4600, a mobile integrated graphics solution by Intel launched in May 2013. The GPU supports DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0. It also features an improved decoder for 4K videos and the fast Quick Sync encoder. The GT2 version integrates 20 Execution Units, 160 shading units, 20 texture mapping units, and 2 ROPs. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1100 MHz. The HD 4600 not only matches some dedicated GPUs such as the GeForce GT 620M/630M, but also competes with the integrated AMD GPUs like the Radeon HD 8650G.

We’re only going to run a few tests, as it should be obvious that these types of onboard graphics are not going to achieve high frame rates on many of the latest games at ultra graphics settings.

Both the tests below are extremely demanding on a system’s integrated graphics card.

Basemark GPU is a professional evaluation tool to evaluate and compare graphics performance across mobile and desktop platforms. The benchmark was run at 1280×720 full screen.

The Lenovo M93 matches both AWOW machines in this test, although it’s beaten to first place by the Asus laptop.


The next test calculates the average frame-rate within the Valley demo for the Unigine engine. Unigine Valley relies upon an OpenGL 3 core profile context.

While the frames per second score for all machines are very low (particularly given that only 800×600 resolution is tested), that’s common with most Intel integrated graphics. But there are many games you can play on Intel integrated graphics. We will cover some of our favourites in a later article, and see how they fare on the Lenovo M93.
