In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Iris i7 5950HQ are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce 920M 2GB.
The GeForce 920M 2GB has a 275 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the Iris i7 5950HQ. This results in the GeForce 920M 2GB providing 16 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GeForce 920M 2GB has a 275 MHz higher core clock speed and 6 more Render Output Units than the Iris i7 5950HQ. This results in the GeForce 920M 2GB providing 4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The Iris i7 5950HQ was released less than a year after the GeForce 920M 2GB, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GeForce 920M 2GB has 1920 MB more video memory than the Iris i7 5950HQ, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the Iris i7 5950HQ has superior memory performance.
The Iris i7 5950HQ has 15.5 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 920M 2GB, which means that the memory performance of the Iris i7 5950HQ is slightly better than the GeForce 920M 2GB.
The Iris i7 5950HQ has 48 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 920M 2GB has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the Iris i7 5950HQ is 442 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce 920M 2GB is 366. The Iris i7 5950HQ having 76 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Iris i7 5950HQ delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce 920M 2GB.
The Iris i7 5950HQ transistor size technology is 14 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce 920M 2GB. This means that the Iris i7 5950HQ is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce 920M 2GB.
The Iris i7 5950HQ requires 47 Watts to run and the GeForce 920M 2GB requires 25 Watts. The Iris i7 5950HQ requires 22 Watts more than the GeForce 920M 2GB to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Iris i7 5950HQ to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GeForce 920M 2GB.

| Mini Review | Overview Intel Iris i7 5950HQ is the Specific Version of Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 Mobile that is Integrated in the Core i7-5950HQ Processor. Architecture The Broadwell Architecture Succeeds the Haswell Architecture and offers Faster & More Efficient Integrated Graphics. Additionally, it also offers better Decoding Performance, when compared to its Predecessors. The GPU Codenamed GT3-U offers 48 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 2 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit Initially Runs at 300MHz and goes up to 1150MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed The Operating Memory Clock depends at which speed the System's RAM is running and which Memory Type is installed and is ultimately limited by the highest operating speed that the Processor supports. In this case, it is 933MHz. Depending on whether or not the System's RAM is Dual-Channeled, it can access either a 64-bit or 128-bit Memory Interface. An addition to the Iris Graphics is the access to a L4 Cache of 128MB eDRAM which further increases the Memory Performance. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU Shares the System's RAM which varies according to the System. The GPU may reserve up to 2GB. Performance Because Performance depends heavily on the Memory Bandwidth, it may vary heavily from System to System. Best Case Scenario, expect Performance Identical to a dedicated GeForce 940M. System Suggestions Intel Iris i7 5950HQ is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1366x768. We recommend 4GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview GeForce 920M 2GB is an Entry-Level Mobile Graphics Card based on the second revision of the Kepler Architecture. Architecture This Graphics Card Equips the Kepler GK208 GPU which is essentially a power optimized version of the GK107 GPU. Whereas it still has a count of 2 Stream Multiprocessors, the bus-width has been cut in half to allow for even a smaller power consumption and consequently a cooler operating temperature. Additionally, the GK208 GPU allows the Central Unit to reach a significant higher frequency, thanks to the Kepler Boost 2.0 Technology. The better the laptop's cooling system, the higher the frequency. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GK208-N16V-GM which has 2 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs. The Central Unit is Initially clocked at 575MHz and goes up to 954MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of DDR3, through a 64-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and in no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 900MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 25W, it is suited for small laptops. Performance GeForce 920M 2GB is essentially a slightly faster GeForce GT 735M and offers more or less comparable performance. System Suggestions We recommend a Modest Processor and 4GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GT 920M 2GB. | |||
