Radeon RX 6800 vs Radeon R5 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 6800 GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6800 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 6800 also 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 addition, the Radeon R5 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6800 at 250 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 6800 is faster than the Radeon R5.
