Iris 5100 vs Radeon R7 240 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Iris 5100 beats the Radeon R7 240 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 240 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 slightly 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, both the Iris 5100 and the Radeon R7 240 have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Iris 5100 over the Radeon R7 240.
