HD 615 vs HD 4600 comparison

For gaming, the HD 4600 graphics card is better than the HD 615 in our tests.

The HD 4600 has a slightly 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 4600 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 HD 615 has a significantly lower TDP at 5 W when compared to the HD 4600 at 45 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 4600 is better than the HD 615.
