Dedicated Graphics Card VS Built-In Graphics Card

[mong]

Hi,

I did a performance test for i7 and Core 2 Duo.
i7 has a built in Graphics card and Core 2 Duo's system has a dedicated graphics card of NVIDIA 9650M GT.From what I know,it enhances the 3D Graphics,but my results shown that the one with built-in Graphics Card has a better performance in 3D Graphics.
Why is that so?

The 9650M isn't really a graphics card. It is chip on the motherboard of a laptop.

There is no compelling reason to think a 4 year old laptop chip would be faster than a current i7 CPU/GPU.

Hi,

Am I correct to say that performance test takes the 2D Graphics results from the board's graphics card itself and only 3D Graphics is taken from the dedicated Graphics card?

[David (PassMark)]

No. With a few minor exceptions, the same card will handle 2D and 3D.

This was my results:

2D Graphics Mark:

Core2Duo(NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT):381.7
Core-i7(Intel HD Graphics 3000):336.9

3D Graphics Mark:
Core2Duo(NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT):315.8
Core-i7(Intel HD Graphics 3000):339.1

I used Performance Test v7.0

Should I get this results or there's something wrong?
