GeForce MX130 vs GeForce MX230 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX230 beats the GeForce MX130 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX230 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 MX230 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 MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce MX130 at 30 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX230 is better than the GeForce MX130.
