Iris Xe vs GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop graphics card is better than the Iris Xe in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4090 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 4090 Laptop at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop is faster than the Iris Xe.
