GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce MX150 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX150 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX150 has a slightly 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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX150 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 980 over the GeForce MX150.
