Radeon RX 5600M vs GeForce GT 720M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 5600M GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 720M in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 5600M 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 5600M also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GT 720M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5600M at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 5600M over the GeForce GT 720M.
