Iris Xe vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop beats the Iris Xe in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop 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 RTX 4050 Laptop also has a significantly 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 significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop at 50 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop is better than the Iris Xe.
