Iris 540 vs GeForce 920MX benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce 920MX graphics card is better than the Iris 540 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce 920MX 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 540 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Iris 540 has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 920MX at 16 W. 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 GeForce 920MX over the Iris 540.
