Iris Plus 655 vs GeForce GTX 960M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960M GPU is faster than the Iris Plus 655 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 960M 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 960M also 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 GTX 960M at 65 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 960M is better than the Iris Plus 655.
