Radeon Vega 8 vs Radeon RX Vega M GL benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX Vega M GL beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

The Radeon RX Vega M GL 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. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon RX Vega M GL at 65 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 Radeon RX Vega M GL is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
