HD 520 vs Radeon R5 M330 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R5 M330 GPU is faster than the HD 520 in gaming.

The Radeon R5 M330 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 M330 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 Radeon R5 M330 at 18 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R5 M330 over the HD 520.
