Iris Plus 655 vs GeForce 930A benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 930A GPU is faster than the Iris Plus 655 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce 930A 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 Plus 655 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Iris Plus 655 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 930A at 33 W. 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 GeForce 930A over the Iris Plus 655.
