GeForce MX330 vs Radeon Vega 3 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce MX330 graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 3 in our tests.

The GeForce MX330 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 MX330 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 GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon Vega 3 at 15 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce MX330 over the Radeon Vega 3.
