About the AMD Radeon 740M GPU
The AMD Radeon 740M is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Phoenix) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The 740M includes 256 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 800 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,500 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 4 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
About the AMD Radeon HD 8240 GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 8240 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q4 2013. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Kalindi) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The HD 8240 includes 128 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
