Iris Xe vs GeForce 930MX benchmarks

For gaming, the Iris Xe graphics card is better than the GeForce 930MX in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce 930MX 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. Despite this, the Iris Xe has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Iris Xe has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 930MX at 17 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Iris Xe over the GeForce 930MX.
