Also the Iris Xe of the 11th Gen Core i5 and i7 G-series processors is noticeably faster than the Intel UHD (G4) of the i3 G4-series chip from the 11th Gen Core G-series. That’s a great result for an integrated graphics processor. But, performance of the Iris Xe is similar to performance of some entry-level dedicated video cards like the Nvidia GeForce MX series. It’s far behind the typical Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX gaming series.

As same as all integrated graphics processors that are used in main processors and use the main memory since they don’t have their own video memory, the Iris Xe can’t compete against the full-blown gaming-class video cards. With its performance, the Intel Iris Xe belongs to the entry-level graphics processor category. Popular examples of these are the i5-1135G7 and i7-1165G7. That’s because it is integrated in the widely used 11th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 G7-series, as well as in newer 12th Gen Core i5 and i7 P-series, main processors.

The Intel Iris Xe is one of the most widely used graphics processors in laptops since its release in 2020.
