HD 520 vs HD 620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the HD 620 GPU is faster than the HD 520 in gaming.

Our database shows that both the HD 520 and HD 620 both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the HD 620 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, both the HD 520 and the HD 620 have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the HD 620 over the HD 520.
