Radeon R7 240 vs GeForce MX250 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX250 GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 240 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce MX250 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 GeForce MX250 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 GeForce MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon R7 240 at 30 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX250 is better than the Radeon R7 240.
