Iris Pro VS Iris Plus

[waziazi]

I’m upgrading from a 2014 base 15” MBP with Iris Pro 1.5gb GPU to the 2018 base 13” Iris Plus GPU model. I’m curious how much better at graphics the 13” is compared to the 2014 15”. Is there a place where I can see graphics benchmarks similar to geekbench for all previous MBP models?

The Iris Plus is a bit faster, but not much of a difference. Take the benchmarks with a grain of salt, as usual. They are only really useful when you want to play games, end even then its situational. Professional use of GPUs is more complex, since the GPU utilisation there is often rather poor and real-world differences rarely scale well with the actual GPU performance.
