Iris 550 vs Radeon RX Vega 11 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX Vega 11 beats the Iris 550 in gaming performance.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the Iris 550 and the Radeon RX Vega 11 have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon RX Vega 11 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, both the Iris 550 and the Radeon RX Vega 11 have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX Vega 11 over the Iris 550.
