GeForce GTX 1060 vs Iris Xe specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 beats the Iris Xe in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 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.

In addition, the Iris Xe has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 is better than the Iris Xe.
