Iris 5100 vs Radeon HD 8730M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Iris 5100 beats the Radeon HD 8730M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon HD 8730M 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. Despite this, the Iris 5100 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris 5100 is faster than the Radeon HD 8730M.
