Radeon Vega 8 vs Radeon HD 8730M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon Vega 8 beats the Radeon HD 8730M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon HD 8730M 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 significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon Vega 8 is faster than the Radeon HD 8730M.
