Intel Iris 5100
Thanks to our GPU Benchmark, we have measured the Intel Iris 5100 as a bad gaming performer a score of 1%.
In terms of clock speed, the Iris 5100 GPU core runs at a frequency of 200 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1100 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.
As for rendering API support, the Iris 5100 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.3 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.
This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 30W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
