About the Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4 (Ice Lake, 48EU) GPU
The Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4 (Ice Lake, 48EU) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Generation 11.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Ice Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.
Memory
The Iris Plus Graphics G4 has System Shared of memory. This gives it a memory bandwidth of System Dependent, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Iris Plus Graphics G4 includes 384 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 300 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,050 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The Iris Plus Graphics G4 has the 292nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.08% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2014. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 870M has 3 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 120 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 870M includes 1,344 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 941 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 967 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GTX 870M has the 216th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 6.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
