Iris 5100 vs HD 4600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the HD 4600 beats the Iris 5100 in gaming performance.

The HD 4600 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 Iris 5100 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the HD 4600 at 45 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the HD 4600 is faster than the Iris 5100.
