HD 4400 vs Radeon HD 8490 comparison

For gaming, the HD 4400 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8490 in our tests.

The Radeon HD 8490 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the HD 4400 has significantly more memory with 1.66 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the HD 4400 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8490 at 35 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the HD 4400 is faster than the Radeon HD 8490.
