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.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 8240 has the 526th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.41% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon 890M GPU

The AMD Radeon 890M is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2024. 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 890M includes 1,024 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,900 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 16 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.

Benchmark Performance

The 890M has the 147th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
