GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop vs Iris Xe MAX benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop graphics card is better than the Iris Xe MAX in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop 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. Despite this, the Iris Xe MAX has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Iris Xe MAX has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop over the Iris Xe MAX.
