Radeon R7 250 vs GeForce MX130 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX130 beats the Radeon R7 250 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX130 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 MX130 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce MX130 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon R7 250 at 75 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 MX130 over the Radeon R7 250.
