Iris Plus 640 vs Radeon Vega 6 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Iris Plus 640 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 6 in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the Iris Plus 640 and the Radeon Vega 6 have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 6 has a significantly 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.

In addition, the Iris Plus 640 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon Vega 6 at 45 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Iris Plus 640 is faster than the Radeon Vega 6.
