Hi everyone,

I’m curious about how Intel HD Graphics might affect the performance of Palo Alto Networks' security solutions. While these solutions typically rely on CPU and RAM, could the integrated GPU impact graphical tasks, especially in the following areas?

1. UI Performance: Does Intel HD Graphics affect the smoothness of managing network traffic, threat logs, and dashboards?
2. Virtualization and VDI: How does Intel HD Graphics influence the performance of virtualized security environments?
3. Video/Image Processing: For tools that handle video feeds or images, does Intel HD Graphics impact processing speed?
4. Compatibility Issues: Are there known issues between Intel HD Graphics drivers and Palo Alto's graphical components?
5. Performance Bottlenecks: Can Intel HD Graphics create bottlenecks in visual tasks or overall performance?

I’m interested in any experiences or benchmarks related to this. Thanks for sharing your insights!

@luciaonmatteo,

To keep it short, I've never noticed any issues with Intel HD Graphics and in an enterprise environment having integrated graphics is actually the most common situation. The vast majority of enterprise endpoints don't just needlessly include dedicated graphics in their machines. Everything will work perfectly fine and nothing will be impacted.
