GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q vs Iris 540 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Iris 540 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q 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 1070 Max-Q 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 540 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q at 90 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 1070 Max-Q over the Iris 540.
