I have HP 15s i3 1215U it has something like Intel ® UHD GRAPHICS i don’t know what is it like what’s the gpu exactly it doesn’t describe what’s the storage like is it 128mb? It’s integrated i don’t have dedicated one of or is 620UHD?

Simple, relatively to extremely low performance GPU integrated into the CPU. They’re great for lots of things, but usually not games.
Great for diagnosing a bad GPU. Sucks though when you have an Intel-kf, which doesn’t have an iGPU. (Never guess how I know.)
It’s the IGPU yeah. You can check the specs of it on the Intel website. It uses shared VRAM with the RAM
5K is 5120 x 2880
4K is 3840 x 2160 (typical monitor resolution); 4096 x 2160 (official cinema resolution)
Ultra HD (UHD) is 3840 x 2160
QHD aka WQHD aka 1440p is 2560 x 1440
2K is 2560 x 1440 (typical monitor resolution); 2048 x 1080 (official cinema resolution)
WUXGA is 1920 x 1200
Full HD aka FHD aka 1080p is 1920 x 1080
HD aka 720p is 1280 x 720
I3 1215U:
I = Intel
3-9: 3 = The most affordable processors; 5 = Mid-range processors; 7 = High-end processors; 9 = Multi-Purpose Top of the Line processors
- 12 = 12th Generation
- 15 = SKU Numeric Digits
F-Y: F + K = DESKTOP PROCESSORS | G1-7 + H + T + U + Y = LAPTOP/MOBILE PROCESSORS
F = No iGPU (Integrated Graphics Card)
K = Unlocked Processor/Overclockable Processor + Best processor of the line
G1-7 = iGPU performance level (Low to High)
H = High-Performance
T = Lower Power but for Power Efficiency
U = Lower Power but for Performance
Y = Lowest Power Draw possible of that processor line
I3-1215U: Intel Core 3 12th Gen 15 Low Power Performance

==================================================
As for the last part of your post:
Dedicated GPUs have completely different names from Integrated GPUs, they are less complex and obviously more powerful but only work on Desktops.
Dedicated GPUs are processors placed in a card that you plug into your Desktop based motherboard
Integrated GPUs are processors already integrated in your CPU (Central/Computing Processor Unit) and will always be weaker than dGPUs for obvious reasons.
==================================================
Hopefully this helped you understand more about how technology works.
Man this was too good but what’s my igpu storage like what is it 128mb?
It’s not storage, but memory. Storage refers to your hard drive or SSD. Memory is where processors pit data to work on.
In your case the iGPU is reserving a portion of your system RAM, likely between 128MB and 1GB. Windows will report this as “hardware reserved.”
You can probably change or at least view how much it is set to reserve in the BIOS. For example, my laptop with 32GB of RAM and a Ryzen 9 6980HS (radeon 680M graphics) reports 2.1GB as hardware reserved and the BIOS is set to allow 2048MiB (2GiB or about 2.1GB) for the iGPU to use.
Internal mem for all display resolutions&bicolors including dbuffer/tbuffer.
I mean for games requirements what does that term mean, vram? What is it 128mb?
VRAM is an old term that refers to the memory on a video card. You don’t have any VRAM, your GPU shares the system memory.
In terms of games, you have the equivalent of a 10-15 year old Nvidia card. If a game lists actual hardware requirements and it isn’t from the 2000s, you’re not going to meet them most likely. Look into getting an actual GPU card.
I get like 30-40 fps in GTA 5 or it’s not that bad like that I just fear the system problems that leads to the overloading the hardware if such a thing Exists
It should say in Task Manager on the GPU section in the performance tab (2nd tab) and it should be located all the way to the bottom right.
It’s possible your Laptop let’s you change the amount of video RAM (vRAM) that’s allocated on your iGPU through the BIOS menu.
============================================
Be warned that the more vRAM you have the more it will take from your system memory as iGPUs only take system RAM rather than have designated vRAM in their unit
The difference between a dGPU and iGPU is that one is just a plain simple unit inside your processor (iGPU) meanwhile the other has the extra functions a GPU needs to maximize it’s workload (dGPU) as it’s also the only ones that can be Overclocked without problems on your main system.
Overclocking an iGPU would lead to a potential system crash
Overclocking a dGPU would lead to a video crash rather than a system one.
So I’ll look into so much good information thanks
You’re welcome.
