HD 4400 vs GeForce 840M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 840M GPU is faster than the HD 4400 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce 840M has a significantly 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. In addition, the GeForce 840M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the HD 4400 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce 840M at 33 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 840M is faster than the HD 4400.
