Radeon R7 M445 vs GeForce 940M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce 940M GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 M445 in gaming.

The GeForce 940M 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 940M 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce 940M is better than the Radeon R7 M445.
