Radeon R5 M255 vs HD 4600 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon R5 M255 graphics card is better than the HD 4600 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R5 M255 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. Despite this, the HD 4600 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R5 M255 is better than the HD 4600.
