Quadro P400 vs GeForce MX230 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX230 GPU is faster than the Quadro P400 in gaming.

The GeForce MX230 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 GeForce MX230 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 GeForce MX230 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Quadro P400 at 30 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 GeForce MX230 is faster than the Quadro P400.
