About the AMD Radeon R9 M265X GPU
The AMD Radeon R9 M265X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Venus) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The R9 M265X has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 R9 M265X includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 575 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 625 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Benchmark Performance
The R9 M265X has the 321st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.52% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
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.
