Intel Iris Xe Max is more powerful than NVIDIA MX330 on Geekbench 5

It seems that Intel wants to continue to hold the laptop market at all costs. For this market it is developing very powerful solutions that can compete with AMD Ryzen Mobile APUs. Tiger Lake-U processors will be the first to be based on 10nm entirely for notebooks. Now the Intel Iris Xe Max has been seen in Geekbench 5 with an interesting performance.

The Intel Iris Xe Max graphics card will be integrated into select Tiger Lake-U laptops as a complementary solution. Both could possibly work in parallel to get better performance. Currently little is known about this new graphics card, except for the recent leak in Geekbench 5, which shows a graphics card with quite interesting performance.

Intel Iris Xe Max is seen in Geekbench 5

According to Geekbench 5, this new Intel Iris Xe Max graphics card will feature 96 Execution Units, which is equivalent to 768 Shaders. This new dedicated graphics card can reach 1.5GHz in Boost mode and is accompanied by 3GB GDDR6. We shouldn't expect out-of-the-box performance, but for what it is, it seems to offer quite acceptable performance.

Under Geekbench 5 software, this graph has obtained a result of 11.885 points, which is not bad at all. It is 6.5% more than the NVIDIA MX330 with 384 CUDA Cores @ 1.59GHz that marks 11.162 points. But, it is 16% slower than the NVIDIA MX350 which has 640 CUDA Cores @ 1.46GHz which scores 13.832 points.

We have to bear in mind that this graph has been designed for a very specific market. We will see this graph in ultrabook computers, a very exclusive market that attracts many users. Logically this graphic is far from being designed for intensive gaming, perhaps something specific can handle it well. It is possible that the iGPU and this Intel Iris Xe Max combine to perform a little more.
