UHD vs GeForce MX250 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX250 GPU is faster than the UHD in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce MX250 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 has a slightly 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 GeForce MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the UHD at 15 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce MX250 over the UHD.
