Radeon RX 580 vs GeForce 930M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 GPU is faster than the GeForce 930M in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 580 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 Radeon RX 580 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 930M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 at 185 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 RX 580 is faster than the GeForce 930M.
