GeForce GTX 1060 vs Iris Xe MAX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU is faster than the Iris Xe MAX in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 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 Iris Xe MAX has a significantly lower TDP at 25 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 MAX.
