GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q vs Iris Xe comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q beats the Iris Xe in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2060 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 RTX 2060 Max-Q 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 RTX 2060 Max-Q at 65 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q is faster than the Iris Xe.
