Discovering the AMD Radeon R5 M330
Performance:
AMD Radeon R5 M330 is a dedicated low-end graphics card for laptops. It is designed based on the Tonga chip and therefore supports DirectX 12, Vulkan, and FreeSync. The core clock speed is quite high, reaching up to 1030 MHz, with a 64-bit platform and DDR3 graphics memory (speed of 1000 MHz, 2000 MHz effective).
Due to its higher core speed, the performance of Radeon R5-M330 outperforms AMD Radeon R5. Consequently, demanding games from 2014 and 2015 like Dragon Age: Inquisition or Assassin's Creed Unity may not run smoothly. However, it handles older or less demanding games well.
Features:
Characteristics of the R5 M330 include video decoding for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, and Flash directly by AMD GPUs, Multi-View Codec (MVC), and MPEG-4 part 2 (DivX, XviD), ensuring excellent compatibility with HD video.
The R5 series also supports automatic graphics switching between integrated and discrete GPUs. Known as Enduro, AMD's technology replaces Switchable Graphics and is similar to Nvidia's Optimus. Moreover, the M330 can directly support multiple displays using Eyefinity technology if Enduro is disabled.
Other features include ZeroCore for reducing power consumption when the screen is off and Power Gating to stop operation when the chip is not in use.
The integrated HD audio processor has the capability to transmit HD Audio (TrueHD or DTS Master Audio) via HDMI and DisplayPort (e.g., for Blu-Ray videos). Additionally, it enables simultaneous audio output with multiple devices using Discrete Digital Multipoint Audio (DDMA), which is a new feature.
Power Consumption:
Power consumption will be similar to that of the R7 M255, making it suitable for 13-inch or larger laptops.
