My question is I was wondering I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro for work and light gaming. I am wondering when I search intel iris pro on YouTube it only brings up intel iris pro 5200 I was wondering are these the same graphics.

Yeah, as far as I know the 5200 is the only Iris Pro out right now.

The Iris Pro is really the first iGPU from Intel to actually have some kind of power in gaming. Granted, AMD's APUs are still better, but you should get low settings at 1080p or medium at 720p pretty well from what I've seen.

Much better description than mine, thanks for posting that. I should've pointed out the difference in Iris and Iris Pro.

I know this is a late post, but just to let you know, I have had an MacBook Pro late 2011 before with a AMD Radeon graphics card and a intel graphics 3000, when I play powerful games with the AMD, it's really glitchy and lagging, but when I switch to Intel, it is perfect, I just bought a MacBook pro mid 2014 and the Intel iris pro graphics are amazing, they don't need a AMD or NVIDIA, it is very powerful, and runs 3 dimensional games like minecraft very well, hope this helps.

I know this is a late post, but I have had a MacBook for a long time, a AMD graphics chip works bad and the Intel is fast, now I have the latest one with Intel iris and it is the best, never freezes and lightning fast.
