HD 630 vs Iris Xe MAX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Iris Xe MAX beats the HD 630 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the HD 630 has a slightly 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 significantly 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 HD 630 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 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 HD 630.
