HD 4600 vs GeForce 940MX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 940MX beats the HD 4600 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce 940MX 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 GeForce 940MX also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the HD 4600 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 940MX is faster than the HD 4600.
