Iris 550 vs Quadro K5100M benchmarks

For gaming, the Quadro K5100M graphics card is better than the Iris 550 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Quadro K5100M 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 Iris 550 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Quadro K5100M at 100 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 Quadro K5100M is faster than the Iris 550.
