About the AMD Radeon R5 M240 GPU

The AMD Radeon R5 M240 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Jet) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R5 M240 has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R5 M240 includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,030 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The R5 M240 has the 403rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.52% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GT 640M LE has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GT 640M LE includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 500 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 570 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 20 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 640M LE has the 428th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
