Graphics Performance

The Iris Pro Graphics 580 scores 1,985 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Generation 9.0 (2015−2016) architecture (codename: Skylake GT4e), manufactured on a 14 nm+ process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 576 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 72 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 9 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.094 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 950 MHz from a base of 350 MHz.
