Iris 550 vs GeForce GTX 650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Iris 550 beats the GeForce GTX 650 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 650 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

In addition, the Iris 550 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 650 at 64 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris 550 is faster than the GeForce GTX 650.
