GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs GeForce MX150 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q GPU is faster than the GeForce MX150 in gaming.

The GeForce MX150 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 MX150 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 MX150 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q is faster than the GeForce MX150.
