Radeon R5 vs GeForce 920MX benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 920MX GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce 920MX has a significantly 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 GeForce 920MX 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.

In addition, the Radeon R5 has a slightly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 920MX at 16 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 GeForce 920MX over the Radeon R5.
