Radeon R5 430 vs FirePro W2100 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R5 430 graphics card is better than the FirePro W2100 in our tests.

The Radeon R5 430 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 Radeon R5 430 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the FirePro W2100 has a significantly lower TDP at 26 W when compared to the Radeon R5 430 at 50 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R5 430 over the FirePro W2100.
