About the AMD Radeon HD 6250 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6250 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q4 2010. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Loveland) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 6250 includes 80 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 280 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 9 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 6250 has the 543rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.16% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 7290 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7290 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Loveland) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 7290 includes 80 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 280 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 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 18 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7290 has the 541st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
