HD 500 vs Radeon HD 8490 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the HD 500 GPU is faster than the Radeon HD 8490 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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.

In addition, the HD 500 has a significantly lower TDP at 6 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8490 at 35 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the HD 500 is better than the Radeon HD 8490.
