GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs HD 620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q GPU is faster than the HD 620 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q 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 GTX 1060 Max-Q also has a significantly 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 HD 620 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q at 80 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q over the HD 620.
