UHD 730 vs GeForce 940M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce 940M graphics card is better than the UHD 730 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce 940M 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 UHD 730 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the UHD 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce 940M at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce 940M over the UHD 730.
