HD 520 vs Radeon R5 M255 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R5 M255 GPU is faster than the HD 520 in gaming.

The Radeon R5 M255 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 Radeon R5 M255 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R5 M255 is better than the HD 520.
