Radeon R9 380 vs GeForce MX330 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 380 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX330 in gaming.

The GeForce MX330 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. In addition, the GeForce MX330 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon R9 380 at 190 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R9 380 is faster than the GeForce MX330.
