The improved driver set allows the CPU to enter deeper sleep states, reducing heat and power draw. The legacy Intel HD Graphics driver (v15.28) enables hardware decoding for H.264, which the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter cannot do. However, the i5 M 540 lacks driver support for modern graphics APIs (DirectX 12 feature level 11_1), so “better” is defined relative to stability, not performance gains in gaming.
