Radeon HD 8790M vs HD benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the HD GPU is faster than the Radeon HD 8790M in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8790M has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon HD 8790M 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the HD is better than the Radeon HD 8790M.
