Radeon HD 8730M vs Radeon Vega 3 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon Vega 3 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8730M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8730M 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 3 has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon Vega 3 is faster than the Radeon HD 8730M.
