Do Integrated Graphics (Intel 630) run faster on higher base clock speeds?

[Jamers99]

Notwithstanding the performance improvements you would notice by upgrading to more cores and/or faster base clock, are the integrated graphics benchmarks inherantly tied to the base clock speed? For instance, could I expect slight better GPU performance when using the 3.2 Ghz i7 vs the 3.0 Ghz i5? If so, would that mean that the GPU would generate the best graphics-only benchmarks when paired with he 3.6 Ghz i3?

The GPU is clocked independently from the CPU clock. It's splitting hairs, but the i7 will allow the GPU to boost up to 1.2GHz, whereas the i3 and i5 can only boost up to 1.1GHz. To answer your question, technically the i7 will give the best GPU scores.
