HD 520 vs UHD 605 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the HD 520 GPU is faster than the UHD 605 in gaming.

Our database shows that the HD 520 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 HD 520 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 UHD 605 has a significantly lower TDP at 5 W when compared to the HD 520 at 15 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the HD 520 is better than the UHD 605.
