so you compered athe iris x with a m330 mmm . So how does it compear to a gtx 1080 or 2080 or 2080 or even a 1660 . If your going to compear then you should compear it to the cards above . The Isisxe is a stand alone GPU now so compare it to a stand alone nvida card and not a mobile chip
They’re comparing the integrated Iris Xe G7, found in Intel’s 11th gen G7 mobile CPU’s. This is not the DG1.
