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. |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

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. |

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 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  |

Waiting for XX55XX to post real life results from his new laptop 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: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ivy-bridge-benchmark-core-i7-3770k,3181-6.htmlWe'll see when I get my laptop in... two weeks. Lenovo's been having supply problems, unfortunately, from what I read. |

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. |

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. |

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?

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

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.

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... |

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. |

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