Iris 540 vs GeForce MX150 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX150 beats the Iris 540 in gaming performance.

The GeForce MX150 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 GeForce MX150 also has a significantly 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 significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce MX150 at 25 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce MX150 over the Iris 540.
