HD 4600 vs Radeon 550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon 550 GPU is faster than the HD 4600 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon 550 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 Radeon 550 also 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 4600 has a slightly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon 550 at 50 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 Radeon 550 is faster than the HD 4600.
