It only says Intel® HD Graphics. Though I believe it should have HD 2000 or HD 3000 since it is mostly identical to i3-2350M.

Hello,

This is in fact Intel® HD Graphics, it is basically a second revision of the original Intel® HD Graphics. Even though it is part of the 2nd generation Intel® HD Graphics (or the Sandy Bridge platform) it does not feature Intel® HD Graphics 2000 or Intel® HD Graphics 3000.

It has 6 EUs and is based on Sandy Bridge GPU architecture, therefore comparable to HD2000. The only difference is that it lacks some features like Quicksync and probably that's why Intel named it just HD graphics.
