GeForce GTX 950M vs Iris Xe benchmarks

For gaming, the Iris Xe graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 950M in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 950M 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 GeForce GTX 950M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Iris Xe has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris Xe is faster than the GeForce GTX 950M.
