In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Iris i5 6267U are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 445M v2.
The GT 445M has a 270 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the Iris i5 6267U. This results in the GT 445M providing 11.3 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 GT 445M has a 270 MHz higher core clock speed and 14 more Render Output Units than the Iris i5 6267U. This results in the GT 445M providing 8.5 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 i5 6267U was released over three years more recently than the GT 445M, and so the Iris i5 6267U is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GT 445M when running the latest games.
The GT 445M has 1024 MB video memory, but the Iris i5 6267U does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Iris i5 6267U has 48 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 445M v2 has 144. However, the actual shader performance of the Iris i5 6267U is 403 and the actual shader performance of the GT 445M is 164. The Iris i5 6267U having 239 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the GT 445M performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The Iris i5 6267U transistor size technology is 26 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GT 445M. This means that the Iris i5 6267U is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GT 445M. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the Iris i5 6267U should consume less power than the GT 445M.
The Iris i5 6267U requires 28 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 445M v2 requires 35 Watts. The GT 445M requires 7 Watts more than the Iris i5 6267U to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GT 445M to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Iris i5 6267U.

| Mini Review | Overview Intel Iris i5 6267U is the specific version of Intel Iris Graphics 550 Mobile that is integrated in the Core i5-6267U Processor. Architecture The Skylake Architecture succeeds the Broadwell Architecture and aims for increased CPU and Graphics Performance, within the same Power Requirements. It includes support for DirectX 12.1, OpenCL 2.0 and OpenGL 4.4, as well as DDR4 Memory Support. 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 1050MHz, 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 for DDR3 and 1067MHz for DDR4. 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 64MB 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 1.7GB. 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 930M. System Suggestions Iris i5 6267U is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1366x768. We recommend 4GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview GeForce GT 445M v2 is a Fast-Middle-Class Mobile Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Fermi Architecture. Architecture The Fermi Architecture is manufactured with a 40nm technology and uses a technique known as Hot Clocking: The Shaders are clocked twice as fast as the Central Unit. While this leads to a reasonable performance boost, it causes enormous amounts of energy dissipation, leading, ultimately, to a significantly higher operating temperature. Fermi is also the first GPU architecture with fully cached memory access which increases memory performance. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed GF106-N11E-GE-A1 which has 3 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 144 Shader Processing Units, 24 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The Central Unit is clocked at 570MHz. Memory The GPU accesses a 1GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 625MHz. Features DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for Optimus, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 35W, it is suited for 15" or larger laptops. Performance Gaming benchmarks put its performance almost on level with the desktop GeForce GT 450 v4. System Suggestions We recommend a decent processor (Intel Core i5 Mobile) and 4GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GT 445M v2. | |||
