Radeon R5 430 vs Radeon RX 640 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 640 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 430 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 640 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 RX 640 also 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.

In addition, both the Radeon R5 430 and the Radeon RX 640 have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 640 is better than the Radeon R5 430.
