Radeon R7 M370 vs Radeon HD 8790M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 M370 GPU is faster than the Radeon HD 8790M in gaming.

The Radeon R7 M370 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. In addition, the Radeon R7 M370 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R7 M370 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 M370 over the Radeon HD 8790M.
