Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce MX330 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce MX330 graphics card is better than the Radeon Vega 8 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce MX330 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 slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the Radeon Vega 8 at 45 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX330 is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
