About the Intel Iris Xe MAX GPU

The Intel Iris Xe MAX is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q4 2020. It is built on the Generation 12.1 GPU microarchitecture (codename DG1) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Memory

The Iris Xe MAX has 4 GB of LPDDR4X memory, with a 2,133 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 68.26 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 Iris Xe MAX includes 768 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 1,650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

Intel recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 25 W.

Benchmark Performance

The Iris Xe MAX has the 203rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R7 M460 GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 M460 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Meso) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 M460 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,125 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 36 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 R7 M460 includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 730 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,024 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The R7 M460 has the 353rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.04% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
