Radeon R9 M360 vs GeForce 940M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce 940M graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 M360 in our tests.

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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 940M over the Radeon R9 M360.
