HD 4000 vs GeForce 930M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 930M beats the HD 4000 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce 930M has a slightly 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 HD 4000 has a slightly 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 930M has a slightly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the HD 4000 at 45 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 930M is faster than the HD 4000.
