GeForce MX250 vs Arc A380 benchmarks

For gaming, the Arc A380 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX250 in our tests.

The GeForce MX250 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. Despite this, the Arc A380 has a significantly 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 MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Arc A380 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 Arc A380 is faster than the GeForce MX250.
