GeForce 940MX vs GeForce GTX 1630 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1630 GPU is faster than the GeForce 940MX in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1630 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1630 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1630 at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1630 is faster than the GeForce 940MX.
