Iris 550 vs Radeon R7 430 specs and performance

For gaming, the Iris 550 graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 430 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 430 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. Despite this, the Iris 550 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 Radeon R7 430 at 50 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris 550 is faster than the Radeon R7 430.
