Radeon R5 M255 vs Radeon R9 M360 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R5 M255 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 M360 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon R5 M255 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 M255 also has a slightly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R5 M255 is faster than the Radeon R9 M360.
