Iris Xe vs CMP 30HX comparison

For gaming, the CMP 30HX graphics card is better than the Iris Xe in our tests.

Our database shows that the CMP 30HX 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 CMP 30HX 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 Xe has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the CMP 30HX at 125 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the CMP 30HX over the Iris Xe.
