Radeon R5 vs Radeon Vega 3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 3 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon Vega 3 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 Vega 3 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the Radeon R5 and the Radeon Vega 3 have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Vega 3 is better than the Radeon R5.
