Radeon RX 5600M vs Radeon Vega 8 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 5600M beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

The Radeon RX 5600M 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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5600M at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 5600M is faster than the Radeon Vega 8.
