Radeon Vega 6 vs GeForce 940M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 6 GPU is faster than the GeForce 940M in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce 940M 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 6 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 Vega 6 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce 940M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon Vega 6 is faster than the GeForce 940M.
