HD 520 vs GeForce MX350 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce MX350 graphics card is better than the HD 520 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX350 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 MX350 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 520 has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce MX350 at 20 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 GeForce MX350 is better than the HD 520.
