UHD 605 vs Radeon HD 8790M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the UHD 605 GPU is faster than the Radeon HD 8790M in gaming.

The Radeon HD 8790M 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. In addition, the Radeon HD 8790M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the UHD 605 over the Radeon HD 8790M.
