Radeon Vega 8 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 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 Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop is faster than the Radeon Vega 8.
