UHD vs Iris Xe benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Iris Xe GPU is faster than the UHD in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the UHD and the Iris Xe have the same base clock speed. 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 addition, both the UHD and the Iris Xe have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Iris Xe over the UHD.
