In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R5 M240 are significantly better than the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell).
The Radeon R5 M240 has a 700 MHz higher core clock speed and 20 more Texture Mapping Units than the Graphics Mobile. This results in the Radeon R5 M240 providing 22.8 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The Radeon R5 M240 has a 700 MHz higher core clock speed and 6 more Render Output Units than the Graphics Mobile. This results in the Radeon R5 M240 providing 7.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The Graphics Mobile was released less than a year after the Radeon R5 M240, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The Radeon R5 M240 has 2048 MB video memory, but the Graphics Mobile does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) has 12 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R5 M240 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics Mobile is 10 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R5 M240 is 336. The Radeon R5 M240 having 326 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon R5 M240 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Graphics Mobile.
The Graphics Mobile transistor size technology is 6 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon R5 M240. This means that the Graphics Mobile is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon R5 M240.
The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) requires 4 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon R5 M240.

| Mini Review | Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) are integrated graphics in the budget Celeron and Pentium Broadwell Mobile processors. Their performance depends on the processor they are integrated on, as the latter defines the Base and Boost Clock, as well as on the SYSTEM RAM, which defines the operating memory clock, and whether the GPU accesses a 64-bit or 128-bit memory interface. Best case scenario, the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) performs on par with Intel HD 4000 Graphics and so most modern demanding games will not be playable. Less graphically intense games will be playable at lower graphics settings. | Overview Radeon R5 M240 2GB is an Entry-Level Mobile Graphics Card based on the First Revision of the GCN architecture. Architecture Radeon R5 M240 2GB Features a GPU Codenamed Jet XT which is a Second Gen Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU and is identical to the Sun GPU Previously used on the Mobility Radeon HD 8500M Series. It has 5 Stream Multiprocessors activated and offers 320 Shader Processing Units, 20 TMUs and 8 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1000MHz and goes up to 1030MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with DDR3 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 64-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1000MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 2GB. Power Consumption The Rated board TDP of Radeon R5 M240 2GB is not known but it should be adequate for small to average sized notebooks. Performance Radeon R5 M240 2GB is only a tad bit faster than Radeon R5 M230 and thus can offer Performance Similar to NVIDIA's GeForce GT 540M. Therefore, Radeon R5 M240 2GB doesn't offer very good performance and can only beat Today's Integrated Graphics by a small margin. System Suggestions Radeon R5 M240 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1366x768. We recommend a Middle-Class Processor and 4GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
