Radeon R9 270 vs T400 4GB specs and performance

For gaming, the T400 4GB graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 270 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon R9 270 has a significantly 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. Despite this, the T400 4GB has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the T400 4GB has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon R9 270 at 150 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 T400 4GB is better than the Radeon R9 270.
