Radeon R5 340 vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 340 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP also has a significantly 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 Radeon R5 340 has a significantly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP is faster than the Radeon R5 340.
