NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 vs Intel UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
► remove from comparisonThe Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 is a mid-range graphics card for desktop PCs. It is based on the 28nm Maxwell GM206 chip and offers 768 shaders, 48 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The graphics memory is typically 2 GB GDDR5 with 6.6 GHz effective and a 128-bit interface.
As a novelty compared to the previous Maxwell GM204 chip, the GM206 includes the new VP7 video engine with HVEC (H.265) decoding and encoding. Furthermore, the GTX 950 supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 for 4K video output.
The 3D gaming performance of the GTX 950 is slightly better than the GeForce GTX 965M (33% more shaders but slower clock speed).
Intel UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N)
► remove from comparison
The Intel UHD Graphics 24EUs (Xe-LP, Alder Lake-N, Gen 12.2) is a integrated graphics card in the mid range Alder Lake-N models like the Intel Processor N100. It is using the current Xe-LP architecture (Gen12) and was announced in late 2022. The GPU uses 24 of the 32 EUs (execution units) in the chip (192 of the 256 shader cores).
The performance is severely hindered by the single channel memory controller of Alder Lake-N, the low CPU performance and relatively low shader count. Therefore, only very low demanding games like Dota 2 in lowest settings can be played with the UHD Graphics GPU.
The whole SoC is manufactured in 10nm (Intel 7 process) at Intel.
