Iris 550 vs GeForce MX130 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX130 GPU is faster than the Iris 550 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce MX130 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 GeForce MX130 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Iris 550 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce MX130 at 30 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce MX130 over the Iris 550.
