Iris Xe Max is slightly faster than integrated graphics in AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G APU

Last week Intel announced the start of deliveries of discrete mobile graphics processors Iris Xe Max , then (yesterday) officially presented the GPU , and today the first tests appeared that will allow us to understand the level of performance of the new product.

Intel Iris Xe Max

What is Intel Iris Xe Max discrete graphics capable of? The first tests provide an answer to this question.

Despite its “discreteness”, Iris Xe Max in its capabilities did not go far from the built-in solutions. Take a look at the table below provided by the source. If we take the performance of the GeForce MX250 as 100%, then the Iris Xe Max is 2.3 times faster on average. But the GeForce MX250 is already quite old discrete graphics, which is hardly worth equal to. But if we take into account the modern integrated Vega graphics core in the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G APU, then the picture begins to play with new colors. Iris Xe Max is faster here, but there is no talk of any superiority at times. But this is integrated graphics, not discrete …

The user who conducted the test noted that overall, the Iris Xe Max falls slightly short of the performance of the desktop GeForce GTX 1050 and the mobile GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. That is, its real competitor is the GeForce MX450 … and the GPUs of the new AMD Ryzen APUs.
