GeForce 940MX vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce 940MX in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a significantly 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 RTX 4050 Laptop also has a slightly 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 RTX 4050 Laptop at 50 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop is better than the GeForce 940MX.
