GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop vs GeForce RTX 5050 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 5050 in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 5050 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 RTX 5050 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 RTX 4070 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5050 at 130 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 GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 5050.
