GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop vs GeForce 940M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop beats the GeForce 940M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop 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 RTX 4070 Laptop also 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 940M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce 940M.
