Iris 540 vs Quadro P400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Iris 540 GPU is faster than the Quadro P400 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Quadro P400 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 Quadro P400 also 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, the Iris 540 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Quadro P400 at 30 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 Iris 540 over the Quadro P400.
