Iris 540 vs Radeon Vega 3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 3 GPU is faster than the Iris 540 in gaming.

Our database shows that both the Iris 540 and Radeon Vega 3 both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 3 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the Iris 540 and the Radeon Vega 3 have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Vega 3 is better than the Iris 540.
