GeForce 940MX vs Radeon Vega 6 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 940MX GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 6 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce 940MX 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 6 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 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the Radeon Vega 6 at 45 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 940MX over the Radeon Vega 6.
