Intel Iris 550
Thanks to our GPU Benchmark, we have measured the Intel Iris 550 as a bad gaming performer a score of 287 points.
In terms of clock speed, the Iris 550 GPU core runs at a frequency of 300 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1000 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.
As for rendering API support, the Iris 550 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.
Power and thermals for the Intel Iris 550 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 15 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
