GeForce 920MX vs GeForce 940MX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 940MX GPU is faster than the GeForce 920MX in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce 940MX has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce 940MX also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce 920MX has a significantly lower TDP at 16 W when compared to the GeForce 940MX at 23 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 940MX over the GeForce 920MX.
