The HD Graphics 620 can be found in mobile processors specified at 15 W TDP and is therefore suited for compact laptops and ultrabooks.

HDMI 2.0 however is still only supported with an external converter chip (LSPCon). This was added with the new models in 2017 and beginning of May 2017 also the older CPU models like the i3-7100U are now shipped with a new S-Spec Code that supports HDCP 2.2. The first models do not support HDCP 2.2 and therefore Netflix 4K. Furthermore, Googles VP9 codec can also be hardware decoded.

The revised video engine now supports H.265/HEVC Main10 profile in hardware with 10 bit colors. For games, the drivers however are not that fast updated and tested as with GeForce graphics cards. I dont have a Kaby Lake system, so Im afraid I cant really validate. If you use Mint 18 (or 18.1), you may be able to apply the patch as described in the link might do the trick. The Mint 17 series is built on Ubuntu 14.04 - meaning that its nearly 3 years old. Compared to dedicated graphics cards, the HD620 should be positioned between a GeForce 910M and 920M from Nvidia. Intel 620 is from the newest 'Kaby Lake' chipset. That means only some less demanding recent games like Farming Simulator 17 run fluently in low detail settings (see below for gaming benchmarks). The exact performance of the HD Graphics 620 depends on various factors like 元 cache size, memory configuration (DDR3/DDR4) and maximum clock rate of the specific model but is very similar to the old HD Graphics 520 GPU. Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the HD 620 has to access the main memory (2x 64bit DDR3/DDR4). This "GT2" version of the Kaby Lake GPU is clocked at up to 1050 MHz (depending on the CPU model). The Intel HD Graphics 620 (GT2) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in various ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processors of the Kaby Lake generation.
