Iris Pro Graphics 5200: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Iris Pro Graphics 5200 was Intel's ambitious 2013 experiment: an integrated GPU given a 45W envelope and cache enhancements to chase entry-level discrete cards. This guide covers its 38 benchmarked games at 1080p on high and the 3 catalog listings name-matched to it.

Where the Iris Pro Graphics 5200 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 7.7 ranks the Iris Pro 5200 at 258th of 341 — bottom-quarter territory. Its neighbors: the Quadro 4000M (8.6) and UHD Graphics 630 (8.3) above, the Radeon 520 (7.9) just ahead, and the GeForce MX110 (7.4), Quadro K3100M (7.3) and Iris Graphics 6100 (6.9) behind. The placement is a fair verdict on the experiment: Intel's halo iGPU of 2013 spent a decade drifting down the table as ordinary integrated graphics — including Intel's own later designs — passed it.

What the chip brings

This is Generation 7.5 graphics on Intel's 22nm process, and the specification that defines it is the 45W envelope — triple the power budget of typical integrated graphics of its time. That headroom, paired with fast shared cache rather than plain system memory access, was how Intel pushed integrated performance into entry-discrete territory. The public benchmarks frame the result: PassMark 1175 and Fire Strike 1381 — clearly ahead of the standard iGPUs of its generation, clearly behind any real midrange card.

FPS in games at 1080p

The Iris Pro 5200's table reads like the top of the entry-class pile in 2014: Valorant at 45 fps (a game it predates by six years), F1 2014 at 43, World of Warships at 34, GRID: Autosport at 33, The Sims 4 at 33, DOTA 2 at 27, Alien: Isolation at 25 and Wolfenstein: The New Order at 25. Its high-preset record carries no medium column; there was no rescuing the modern end of the table anyway — Fortnite at 14, Forza Horizon 4 at 14, The Witcher 3 at 10, Cyberpunk 2077 at 6, and the Resident Evil 4 remake at 3 fps.

Laptops that carry it

Three listings name-match to this record, and all are 2012-era business machines: Dell's Latitude E6430 ($101) and E6530 ($140), and Lenovo's ThinkPad T530 ($113). It's worth being precise about what that means: these are the catalog's fuzzy name-matches for the Iris Pro family, and their spec sheets centered on standard integrated graphics and optional entry NVIDIA cards — the roster medians (a best-GPU score of 45.9) reflect those machines' stronger options, not this chip. The true Iris Pro 5200 machines of 2013 were premium ultrabooks and a handful of Apple and gaming designs that have largely aged out of circulation.

Bottom line

The Iris Pro 5200 matters today mostly as a reference point: it marks the moment Intel first argued that integrated graphics deserved a power budget and premium positioning — an argument that eventually reshaped the whole market. As hardware to buy in 2026, it's a decade-old footnote inside $100–140 business chassis that are worth considering for other reasons entirely. Judge those machines on keyboard, screen and battery; the graphics will handle desktop work and nothing more.
