HD 620 vs GeForce GTX 950M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 950M graphics card is better than the HD 620 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 950M 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 GTX 950M 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 620 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 950M is faster than the HD 620.
