Iris Xe vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card is better than the Iris Xe in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 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 4060 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 GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 is better than the Iris Xe.
