Radeon RX 640 vs GeForce GTX 860M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 860M beats the Radeon RX 640 in gaming performance.

The Radeon RX 640 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 640 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 640 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 860M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 860M over the Radeon RX 640.
