Intel® Driver & Support Assistant showing wrong information?

albertp — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 13:54:24 GMT

I have an Intel® Pentium® CPU G3240 @ 3.10GHz. I wanted to see if there was an update for the driver so I downloaded the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant. When I used it, it detected my processor as Intel® Pentium® CPU G3240 @ 3.10GHz and showed the driver I could download.

This shows Intel® Graphics Driver for Braswell, 4th and 5th generations

The problem is it shows Intel® Graphics Driver for Braswell, 4th and 5th generations.

But in the products page for the same processor shows

Code Name

Products formerly Haswell

This page shows Haswell

Is there no difference between Braswell and Haswell?

I don't know what to do, should I just download it, as the Driver & Support Assistant says or did it give me the wrong option? What should I do?

You have edited 11 times in 30 minutes. Maybe you could wait and give someone a chance to answer.

sorry for that. I was trying to display the text below the images. for some reason I can't fix it.

It looks very disorganized right now.

I am new to this.

This is your processor:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/80796/intel-pentium-processor-g3240-3m-cache-3-10-ghz.html

This is listed as the latest/last driver for your processor graphics.

Ignore IDSA and use the link above.

I do not know, as I cannot read your pastes, and I do not use IDSA.

Use the links provided by ark for your processor and graphics.
