Radeon R5 M255 vs Iris Xe specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Iris Xe beats the Radeon R5 M255 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R5 M255 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Iris Xe is better than the Radeon R5 M255.
