Iris Pro Graphics 580: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Iris Pro Graphics 580 was Intel's most powerful Gen-9 integrated GPU — and one of the most interesting iGPUs the company ever shipped, with its own eDRAM cache. This benchmark-only page covers its 18 games at 1080p on the high preset; no laptop model in the catalog is matched to this chip record.

Where the Iris Pro Graphics 580 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 20.6 ranks it 202nd of 341 — the middle of the table, which for a 2015 integrated GPU is remarkable company. Its neighbors: the Quadro K5100M (21.4), Iris Pro P580 (21) and Radeon RX Vega 10 (21) above; Apple's M3 (20.4), M1 Pro (20.3) and M4 GPU740 (20.3) below. A Skylake-era iGPU trading places with early Apple Silicon in the ranking is the clearest measure of how far ahead of its time the eDRAM design was.

What the chip brings

The 580 is Generation 9.0 architecture on Intel's 14nm process: 72 execution units, embedded DRAM serving as a fast cache, and a 15W-class envelope. Public benchmarks put it at PassMark 1841 and Fire Strike 1903, with compute scores of 10984 (Vulkan) and 9067 (OpenCL) — numbers that beat many entry discrete cards of its own generation.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table reads like a strong thin-and-light of the late 2010s: the capped legacy titles at their 240/140 ceilings, Valorant at 55, Fortnite at 24, Metal Gear Solid V at 23, Forza Horizon 4 at 21, Battlefield 5 and Counter-Strike 2 at 18, DOTA 2 at 15. The heavier end is honest: The Witcher 3 and Far Cry 5 at 12, Cyberpunk 2077 at 9, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 7 and Metro Exodus at 8 fps. Esports and lighter titles were its home ground; triple-A was always a stretch.

Bottom line

The Iris Pro 580 remains a benchmark curiosity worth knowing: the peak of Intel's eDRAM experiment, competitive in ranking with early Apple Silicon and still able to run the esports canon at 1080p. As a purchase in 2026 the machines carrying it are old — judge them on price and CPU. But as a data point in the catalog, the 580 is proof that integrated graphics briefly threatened the entry discrete tier a decade ago, and the table below shows exactly how close it got.
