Radeon R5 240 vs Radeon R7 360 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 360 beats the Radeon R5 240 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R7 360 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon R5 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon R7 360 at 100 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 360 is faster than the Radeon R5 240.
