GeForce MX330 vs Iris Xe MAX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Iris Xe MAX beats the GeForce MX330 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX330 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. Despite this, the Iris Xe MAX has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Iris Xe MAX at 25 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 Iris Xe MAX is better than the GeForce MX330.
