Radeon R9 M360 vs Radeon Vega 8 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 8 GPU is faster than the Radeon R9 M360 in gaming.

The Radeon R9 M360 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly 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 Radeon Vega 8 is better than the Radeon R9 M360.
