Intel UHD Graphics Xe (Tiger Lake, 32EU) vs Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake, 64EU)

The Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake, 64EU) is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q2 2020. It is built on the Generation 11.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Ice Lake GT2) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Memory

The Iris Plus Graphics G7 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 G7 includes 512 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 32 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 G7 has the 271st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
