Intel® Driver & Support Assistant wrong information?

[albertp]

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.

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 one 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?

Hello albertp

Thank you for posting on the Intel Communities. I know it is important for you to get your drivers updated, I will be glad to answer your questions about this download from Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (IDSA)

The download package from IDSA includes 3 families of processors most of them discontinued:

• Products formerly Braswell
• 4th Generation Processors Haswell
• 5th Generation Processors Broadwell

The driver is compatible with the 3 families of processors including your Intel® Pentium® Processor G3240, the description on IDSA does not mean the processor was identified as Braswell, this is only the generic name to indicate the driver is valid for either generation.
