Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

Iris Pro Graphics 5200

2013

Why buy it

  • ✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • ❌100% higher power demand at 30W vs 15W.

Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C

2020

Why buy it

  • ✅Less risky long-term buy than Iris Pro Graphics 5200: it remains the more sensible modern option while Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is already obsolete for modern gaming.
  • ✅Draws 15W instead of 30W, a 15W reduction.
  • ✅More future proof: Vega (2017−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is Iris Pro Graphics 5200 better than Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C?
Yes. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 1,172 vs 1,166 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is a 2013 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm process instead of 22nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
Iris Pro Graphics 5200 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $150 MSRP. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Iris Pro Graphics 5200 is in basically the same MSRP band at $150 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 0.5% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is the newer 2020 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 30W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C make more sense than Iris Pro Graphics 5200?
Yes. Radeon RX Vega 10 Ryzen 7 3700C is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 30W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $150 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Iris Pro Graphics 5200. The trade-off is that Iris Pro Graphics 5200 currently gives you 0.5% higher G3D Mark. It only holds a slight 0.5% edge in G3D-per-dollar, so the value lead is real but narrow.
