Radeon R7 M365X vs Radeon HD 8950 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 M365X beats the Radeon HD 8950 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R7 M365X has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon R7 M365X has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 M365X is better than the Radeon HD 8950.
