UHD 620 vs Radeon R9 280 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R9 280 beats the UHD 620 in gaming performance.

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. Despite this, the UHD 620 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 UHD 620 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R9 280 at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R9 280 is better than the UHD 620.
