UHD 600 vs Radeon R9 280 comparison

For gaming, the UHD 600 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 280 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R9 280 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. In addition, the Radeon R9 280 also 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 UHD 600 has a significantly lower TDP at 5 W when compared to the Radeon R9 280 at 250 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the UHD 600 is faster than the Radeon R9 280.
