Iris Plus 655 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB graphics card is better than the Iris Plus 655 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also 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 655 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is faster than the Iris Plus 655.
