In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R4 7310 are marginally better than the Intel HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell).

The Radeon R4 7310 has a 500 MHz higher core clock speed and 4 more Texture Mapping Units than the Graphics Mobile. This results in the Radeon R4 7310 providing 5.2 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 R4 7310 has a 500 MHz higher core clock speed and 2 more Render Output Units than the Graphics Mobile. This results in the Radeon R4 7310 providing 2.6 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 Radeon R4 7310 was released less than a year after the Graphics Mobile, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) and the Radeon R4 7310 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The Graphics Mobile has 12.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon R4 7310, which means that the memory performance of the Graphics Mobile is slightly better than the Radeon R4 7310.

The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) has 12 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R4 7310 has 128. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics Mobile is 10 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R4 7310 is 67. The Radeon R4 7310 having 57 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the Graphics Mobile performs better when taking into account other relevant data.

The Graphics Mobile transistor size technology is 6 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon R4 7310. This means that the Graphics Mobile is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon R4 7310. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the Graphics Mobile should consume less power than the Radeon R4 7310.

The HD Graphics Mobile (Broadwell) requires 4 Watts to run and the Radeon R4 7310 requires 15 Watts. The Radeon R4 7310 requires 11 Watts more than the Graphics Mobile to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon R4 7310 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Graphics Mobile.
