HD 530 vs Radeon R7 M260 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 M260 GPU is faster than the HD 530 in gaming.

The Radeon R7 M260 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 R7 M260 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 M260 is better than the HD 530.
