Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

GeForce MX150 and HD Graphics 400 have a nearly equal value for money.

Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	384	96
Core clock speed	1468 MHz	320 MHz
Boost clock speed	1532 MHz	640 MHz
Number of transistors	1,800 million	189 million
Manufacturing process technology	14 nm	14 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	25 Watt (10 - 25 Watt TGP)	6 Watt
Texture fill rate	24.91	7.680
Floating-point performance	1,127 gflops	134.4 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce MX150 and HD Graphics 400 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
