HD 4400 vs HD 5500 benchmarks

For gaming, the HD 5500 graphics card is better than the HD 4400 in our tests.

The HD 5500 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. Despite this, the HD 4400 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 HD 5500 has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the HD 4400 at 20 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the HD 5500 over the HD 4400.
