Radeon R7 370 vs Radeon Vega 8 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 370 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon R7 370 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon R7 370 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 370 over the Radeon Vega 8.
