About the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80EU) GPU

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80EU) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2020. It is built on the Generation 12.1 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tiger Lake GT2) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Iris Xe Graphics G7 includes 640 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 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 20 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 Xe Graphics G7 has the 240th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.10% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2015. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GM204) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 980 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,753 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 224.4 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 980 Mobile includes 2,048 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,064 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,140 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 200 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 980 Mobile has the 134th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.44% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
