Radeon R7 360 vs GeForce MX250 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce MX250 graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 360 in our tests.

The Radeon R7 360 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. Despite this, the GeForce MX250 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 MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX250 is better than the Radeon R7 360.
