GeForce GTX 860M vs GeForce MX150 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 860M beats the GeForce MX150 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX150 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 MX150 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce MX150 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 860M 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.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 860M over the GeForce MX150.
