Radeon Vega 11 vs Iris Xe MAX comparison

For gaming, the Radeon Vega 11 graphics card is better than the Iris Xe MAX in our tests.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the Radeon Vega 11 and the Iris Xe MAX have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Iris Xe MAX has a slightly 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 Radeon Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Iris Xe MAX at 25 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Vega 11 is better than the Iris Xe MAX.
