HD 5500 vs Iris Plus 655 specs and performance

For gaming, the Iris Plus 655 graphics card is better than the HD 5500 in our tests.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the HD 5500 and the Iris Plus 655 have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Iris Plus 655 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, both the HD 5500 and the Iris Plus 655 have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris Plus 655 is faster than the HD 5500.
