GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Iris Plus 655 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card is better than the Iris Plus 655 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti also 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 Plus 655 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti over the Iris Plus 655.
