Iris: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

This page covers the catalog's generic «Iris» record — the Skylake GT3e integrated GPU of 2015 with 48 execution units and its own eDRAM. The name matches 356 catalog listings, and that number itself needs explaining before the benchmarks: read this as a family-name page, not a single-chip census.

Where the Iris record sits in 2026

The catalog score of 3.8 ranks this record 284th of 341 — deep in the bottom sixth. Its neighbors: the Iris Graphics 5100 (4.5), Radeon R9 M375X (4.2) and Quadro K2100M (3.9) above; the Radeon 550X (3.6), UHD Graphics 610 (3.4) and GeForce 830M (3.4) below. A low score for a record whose name attaches to hundreds of modern machines is the first clue that the match pool and the chip are different things — the pool matches the family name, not one record.

What the chip brings

The record describes Skylake GT3e silicon: 48 execution units, eDRAM cache, a 1050MHz boost on Intel 14nm inside a 15W envelope. Public benchmarks: PassMark 1275, Fire Strike 1448, OpenCL compute 3835. In 2015 this was upper-tier integrated graphics; a decade later the score reflects the full modern benchmark suite running on old silicon.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table belongs to 2015: legacy capped titles at 240/140, Valorant at 45, DOTA 2 at 29, Fortnite at 16, Forza Horizon 4 at 14, then the single digits — Battlefield 5 and Counter-Strike 2 at 10, The Witcher 3 at 10, Far Cry 5 and Forza Horizon 5 at 8, Cyberpunk 2077 at 6, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 4 and Metro Exodus at 5 fps. Old esports on reduced settings is the playable envelope.

Laptops that carry it — or the name

The 356-listing pool spans 2024-2026 machines: HP OmniBook 3 at $1400, Acer Aspire Go 15 at $765, TravelMate P4 Spin at $1275, LG Gram Book at $1232, OmniBook 5 Flip at $1275, ProBook 4 G1iR at $1144, Dell Latitude 5450 at $569, and even an Alienware M18 R2 at $2485 and a Victus gaming laptop. Those last two make the scoping explicit: no 2026 gaming flagship carries a 2015 iGPU — the listings are name-matched to the Iris family. The pool medians (best-CPU 75.2, energy efficiency 90, mobility 57) describe modern thin-and-lights, not this chip. Judge each listing on its actual spec sheet.

Bottom line

Read this page two ways. As a chip record, the Skylake GT3e is a 2015 iGPU whose benchmark table caps out at old esports — honest and unremarkable. As a catalog entry, «Iris» is a family name attaching to 356 machines across a decade of Intel graphics; the roster below is a starting point for browsing, and the GPU row of each listing is the only reliable truth. For gaming expectations, trust the table above and nothing else.
