About the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 GPU
The Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2015. It is built on the Generation 9.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Skylake GT4e) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The Iris Pro Graphics 580 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 Pro Graphics 580 includes 576 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 950 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 72 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 9 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 Pro Graphics 580 has the 294th 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 GT 720M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2013. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF117) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GT 720M has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 12.8 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 GT 720M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 938 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 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 33 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GT 720M has the 432nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.16% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
