Iris Plus 640 vs Radeon RX 560 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 560 GPU is faster than the Iris Plus 640 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560 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 Radeon RX 560 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 560 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 0.5 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Iris Plus 640 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 at 80 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 560 is faster than the Iris Plus 640.
