GeForce GT 1030 vs Iris Xe MAX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Iris Xe MAX beats the GeForce GT 1030 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Iris Xe MAX has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Iris Xe MAX has a slightly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GT 1030 at 30 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris Xe MAX is faster than the GeForce GT 1030.
