HD 500 vs Radeon HD 8470 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon HD 8470 graphics card is better than the HD 500 in our tests.

The Radeon HD 8470 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 HD 500 has a significantly lower TDP at 6 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8470 at 35 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon HD 8470 is better than the HD 500.
