HD 5500 vs GeForce 830M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce 830M graphics card is better than the HD 5500 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce 830M 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 GeForce 830M 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 5500 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 830M at 33 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 GeForce 830M is better than the HD 5500.
