HD 520 vs Radeon HD 8670M comparison

For gaming, the HD 520 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8670M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8670M 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. Despite this, the HD 520 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the HD 520 is faster than the Radeon HD 8670M.
