Graphics Performance
The Iris Plus Graphics 950 scores 1,789 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier. It is built on the Generation 11.0 (2019−2021) architecture (codename: Ice Lake GT2), manufactured on a 10 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 512 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.024 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1000 MHz from a base of 400 MHz.
