HD 530 vs Radeon R5 240 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R5 240 beats the HD 530 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R5 240 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 530 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R5 240 at 50 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R5 240 is faster than the HD 530.
