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 7.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2019 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1650 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,001 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 128.1 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 1650 includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,485 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,665 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1650 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1650 has the 151st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 13.03% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 13,645 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 91.58. This is the 24th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
