Radeon HD 8730M vs Iris Xe comparison

In our benchmarks, the Iris Xe beats the Radeon HD 8730M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8730M 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 significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Iris Xe over the Radeon HD 8730M.
