Iris 540 vs Radeon R7 M260 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 M260 graphics card is better than the Iris 540 in our tests.

The Radeon R7 M260 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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 M260 over the Iris 540.
