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 may need to install an additional driver...

Note sure if this has any relevance or not, but depending on the workload, the Intel HD 4000 can be faster than the A8-3850 in terms of compute:

We'll see when I get my laptop in... two weeks. Lenovo's been having supply problems, unfortunately, from what I read.

With the Sandybridge CPUs they have an OpenCL driver but it is run by the CPU not the GPU. As has been said, Ivybridge has OpenCL capable graphics.

I just bought a Thinkpad with this new graphics chip, and apparently, it's OpenCL capable. Has anyone tried running a miner on it yet? If so, what are the numbers like?

When I first got my new processor, I went to see if I could mine on my Intel HD graphics 2000, the miners in GUIMiner don't even show my gpu.

Are any miners picking up your 4000?

The Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 are not OpenCL capable. The new 2500/4000 are.

And for the record, I still don't have my Thinkpad on hand yet.

Ah, ok. What made me believe it would work though, I thought I seen something about openCL when I first installed the drivers for it.

Good to know why it was not showing up, thanks man.

Has some decent OpenCL grunt, but I did say since it's based partly on Nvidia licensed IP that it will probably not perform well for Bitcoin purposes. Is there an OpenCL benchmark that can be used to gauge Bitcoin performance? Would save the trouble of trying to get an actual miner running.

Lol whoever said around 100mhash is mad.

Intel HD4000 is hardly better than Radeon HD6450 so 20mhash is max.

I get around 20mhash with a 3770k stock, using all cores with Ufasoft. I don't know how to mine with the HD graphics though.

I believe a kernel needs to be written for it, although you could try playing around with one of the OpenCL miners like poclbm.

Those things aren't going to hit 100 MH/s are you kidding? Try 10 MH/s.

The integer performance of a 6770M (what I have in my laptop) far outstrips what the HD4000 is capable of and it only gets 75 MH/s.

Hmm... I think 40-50 M/hash might be more realistic, then.

But at any rate, the HD 4000 is the most power efficient mining chip out there, with the exception of FPGAs.

2 MH/J is power efficient? What? Even at the proposed 100 MH/s (4MH/J) is not all that impressive.

Pardon me, I am coming from mining on an Nvidia GPU and the numbers look impressive.

It's not even a proper gpu, would be worth with 48xx with free/stolen electricity, otherwise you'll be losing money. Anything lower than that and you are also losing your time.

100 M/hash for only 25 watts of electricity sounds like a good deal to me. Especially if Intel's OpenCL drivers are up to snuff.

umm i do not think you are going to get 100mhash/s on that... if you do let us know and we will stop buying fpgas...

If you were buying FPGAS, I dont see how these cpus outprice the current fpgas on the market.

Street Price: 3570K - £179.99 3770K - £259.99 excluding motherboard/memory/psu etc. which would add between 50-100% on that per cpu usable unit for mining for only 100mh, sounds like a terrible investment.

But what if you needed a new computer and CPU anyway? Those costs would be factored in. Just electricity.
