Radeon R5 vs Radeon HD 8730M specs and performance

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

The Radeon HD 8730M 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. Despite this, the Radeon R5 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R5 is faster than the Radeon HD 8730M.
