I noticed that it is an AMD platform (i.e. A+A). It is quite normal that AMD's iGPU requires more memory than Intel's (because it is also more powerful). This should be a normal behaviours.
This can depend on hardware design, but the iGPU device allocates 256M memory space (see lspci or below) and I am also guessing this is the system memory dedicated to iGPU. If the 256M system memory is taken into consideration, ex. the calculation becomes (4x1024 - 256) / (3.13x1024) = 83.4%, this passes the criteria. 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Status in HWE Next Project: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: CID : 201407-15368 Lenovo E450 (A+A) with 14.04.2 (utopic) Steps: 1. Install 14.04.2 on E450 2. Install Plainbox and run test case 'memory/info'. (This test checks the amount of memory which is reporting in meminfo against the size of the memory modules detected by DMI.) Expected result: Test result should be pass. Actual result: /proc/meminfo reports: 3.13GiB lshw reports: 4GiB FAIL: Meminfo reports 930258944 less than lshw, a difference of 21.66%. Only a variance of 20% in reported memory is allowed.
