HD 4000 vs HD 500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the HD 4000 GPU is faster than the HD 500 in gaming.

Our database shows that the HD 4000 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 HD 4000 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the HD 500 has a significantly lower TDP at 6 W when compared to the HD 4000 at 45 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the HD 4000 is better than the HD 500.
