Radeon R5 M330 vs Radeon HD 8730M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R5 M330 GPU is faster than the Radeon HD 8730M in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon R5 M330 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 R5 M330 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R5 M330 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R5 M330 over the Radeon HD 8730M.
