Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R7 360 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 360 beats the Radeon R7 240 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 360 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 Radeon R7 360 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon R7 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon R7 360 at 100 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 360 is faster than the Radeon R7 240.
