That's not a problem, an HD 6450 only has 160 stream processors. It's not the godzilla of the graphics world. My 3870K APU has 400 stream processors and OC'd to 900Mhz I get 98MH/s. pretty much inline with half a 6770 with 800 stream processors.

That chip with the HD 4000 is performing pretty much where it should.

100mh/s... not bad for a $100 CPU.

Granted it's only ~1.5BTC a month, but it's better than a single core Sempron 140 that you can barely sell for $10 used.

Which can be unlocked to dualcore athlon II. Steal for such price.

Actually ive seen the HD4000 beating HD6550D on most of the game bechmarks.

But, gaming and mining are two diferent things anyway.

I don't really think so. It can't beat it stock and it sure can't beat it overclocked - and these aren't small margins, so where that information came from is beyond me. The difference is even more serious in graphics intense games like Diablo III.

Basically the difference we see gaming and mining is quite equal.

Well HD4000 is over HD6450 in terms of 3D performance, there is some other problem over there, maybe similar to the nvidia one.

Okay, results are just abysmal.

4.3 M/hash per second on average on the Intel HD 4000.

I'm going to install Intel's overclocking utility to see what I squeeze out...

Also, any flags I should try to improve performance? This is even worse than the NVS 4200M on my T420, which got 10 M/hash per second on average.

Not surprised by this one bit, once I saw the specs of the GPU.
Keep trying Intel

Frankly I'm not surprised. You know what they say about Intel video...

It's not that bad at gaming, though.

Oh well, maybe Haswell will be the godsend many of us are looking for. I was using the Windows 8 beta drivers, so that might be it.

Shame Intel licensed shader tech from Nvidia and not AMD. =S

Wonder if it is actually running off the CPU? That's how OpenCL worked with the HD3000 but the HD4000 is supposed to work.

GUIMiner identified the HD 4000 correctly. Plus, the CPU is only being pegged at 8% usage, so obviously the GPU is doing some work.

I suspect Intel's drivers may need some tuning...

Okay, about to install Bitcoin and GUIMiner. Should have a report back in about an hour.

It appears that Intel's latest drivers for the HD 4000 includes OpenCL drivers as well. I'll have a report for you guys back by early evening.

Anyways, my T430s has the base standard voltage Core i5 processor - 3320M, I believe?

I haven't used this chip you're talking about. Considering though a GPU like 5750 hashes for about 170MH/s and the APU of AMD A8-3850 (which is 6550) does a 65MH/s, I seriously doubt this Intel chip can go up to 100MH/s.

Waiting for XX55XX to post real life results from his new laptop

I have a desktop with a 3770k as I said before. Isn't it not possible at the moment to run an OpenCL miner with the HD4000 gfx? Nothing comes up in guiminer.

You will likely need to install Intel's OpenCL package. Also, GUIMiner -only- looks for AMD APP (SDK 2.4 or higher) before "enabling" the rest of the program. Once you have 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6 installed, GUIMiner will run normally. You will then have to configure your miner (GUIMiner is not a miner. It is a frontend. A GUI. Nothing more.) to use the Intel OpenCL platform instead, and hope it recognizes the HD4000 graphics.

I think you can use GPU Caps Viewer to analyze each OpenCL platform and compatible devices for each platform if GUIMiner is acting weird, to make sure the HD4000 is an acceptable device for Intel OpenCL.

save the trouble and try cgminer :p

Just got my laptop. Will test out mining tomorrow.
