HD 520 vs GeForce 920MX specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce 920MX graphics card is better than the HD 520 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce 920MX 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 GeForce 920MX 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 HD 520 has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 920MX at 16 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce 920MX is better than the HD 520.
