AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand Specifications

GPU Core

Shader units and compute resources

The AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.

AMD's Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand Memory

VRAM capacity and bandwidth

VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory for storing textures, frame buffers, and shader data. The Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand's memory capacity determines how well it handles high-resolution textures and multiple displays. Memory bandwidth, measured in GB/s, affects how quickly data moves between the GPU and VRAM. Higher bandwidth improves performance in memory-intensive scenarios like 4K gaming. The memory bus width and type (GDDR6, GDDR6X, HBM) significantly influence overall GPU benchmark scores.

About AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand

Power and Cooling — TDP, PSU recommendation, connector requirements

The AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand is built on TSMC's 28 nm process node, housing 950 million transistors within a 77 mm² die. This yields a transistor density of 12.3 million transistors per square millimeter, a figure consistent with the GCN 1.0 architecture of the era. The chip, codenamed Mars, is a product of the Gem System generation within the R5 M200 series. Notably, the FACT PACK does not list a TDP value, a suggested PSU rating, or any power connector specifications for this part. Consequently, any assessment of its thermal envelope must remain qualitative. The data indicates a modest design: the absence of supplemental power connector information in the specifications suggests that the card was engineered to draw power exclusively from the PCIe slot, which for a mobile-oriented part implies a low-power footprint suitable for thin-and-light chassis.

The memory subsystem consists of 1024 MB of DDR3 running at 900 MHz (1800 Mbps effective) across a 64-bit bus. This configuration yields a memory bandwidth of 14.40 GB/s. In practical terms, this is a narrow and slow memory interface by contemporary standards, and it will act as a bottleneck for compute-heavy workloads regardless of the GPU core's capabilities. The core itself operates at a base clock of 650 MHz with a boost clock of 700 MHz, a modest frequency range that further underscores the power-conscious design. The pixel rate is 5.600 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 16.80 GTexel/s, both derived from the 8 ROPs and 24 TMUs respectively. FP32 performance sits at 537.6 GFLOPS, a figure that places this GPU firmly in the entry-level segment.

The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x8, which provides adequate bandwidth for the GPU's data requirements but is half the lanes of a full x16 connection. This is unlikely to be a limiting factor given the low memory bandwidth and modest compute throughput. The production status is marked as End-of-life, with a release date of January 9, 2014. The predecessor is listed as Solar System, and the successor is Polaris Mobile. For any system builder or integrator, the lack of a specified PSU recommendation means that the power draw is assumed to be negligible within a typical laptop or small-form-factor design. A capable air cooler would suffice for thermal management, but no specific cooler size or wattage figure is available in the data.

Who Should Consider It

Benchmark results indicate that the AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0. This percentile ranking is a relative measure, not an absolute one; it suggests that this GPU is in the middle of the distribution of all GPUs tracked, but the zero average score complicates direct interpretation. Given the specifications — 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 537.6 GFLOPS of FP32 — this is a GPU intended for basic display output and light 2D workloads rather than demanding 3D gaming.

For resolution and settings recommendations, the data does not provide specific frame rate figures or game benchmarks. However, the raw numbers allow for an inference: at 1080p resolution, this GPU would struggle with modern titles at medium or high settings. The 14.40 GB/s memory bandwidth is a severe limitation for texture-heavy scenes, and the 700 MHz boost clock will limit shader throughput. The realistic use case is older or less demanding games at 720p or 1080p with low detail settings, or non-gaming tasks such as video playback, office productivity, and basic photo editing. The DirectX 12 (11_1) support and OpenGL 4.6 compatibility mean it can run modern APIs, but the hardware is not capable of leveraging them for high-end effects.

Users who prioritize battery life and quiet operation over gaming performance might find this GPU acceptable for daily computing. The Vulkan 1.2.170 support is a positive note for compatibility with modern applications that use this API, but again, the underlying compute horsepower is limited. The 64-bit memory bus and DDR3 type are clear indicators that this is not a gaming-oriented part. Anyone expecting playable frame rates in current AAA titles should look elsewhere. Conversely, for a secondary machine, a home theater PC, or a legacy system upgrade, the R5 M240 Rebrand could serve adequately for media consumption and light productivity.

Benchmark Performance

The FACT PACK lists no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals for the AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand. The `benchmarks` array is empty, and the `nearestRivals` array contains no entries. The `avgBenchmarkScore` is 0, and the `percentileVsAllGpus` is 50. This means there are no quantitative performance deltas to report against any competing product. The data is silent on how this GPU compares to specific alternatives such as the GeForce 800M series or Intel's integrated graphics of the same era.

What can be analyzed is the internal consistency of the specifications. The FP32 throughput of 537.6 GFLOPS is derived from 384 shading units running at 700 MHz (384 × 2 × 700 MHz = 537.6 GFLOPS). The texture rate of 16.80 GTexel/s comes from 24 TMUs at 700 MHz (24 × 700 MHz = 16.80 GTexel/s). The pixel rate of 5.600 GPixel/s is from 8 ROPs at 700 MHz (8 × 700 MHz = 5.600 GPixel/s). These figures are coherent and indicate that the GPU is not artificially constrained in any single unit, but the overall design is balanced toward low power rather than peak performance.

The 50th percentile ranking is a peculiar data point. It implies that half of all GPUs in the database perform worse than this part, but the zero average score suggests that no actual benchmark runs have been recorded for this specific model. The percentile may be based on the specifications rather than empirical testing. Without rival data, any comparative statement would be speculative. The benchmark results indicate that this GPU is not a performance leader in any metric; it is a baseline part that provides functional graphics output with minimal power draw. The lack of nearest rivals means that the database has no direct comparison points, which is typical for mobile rebrands that were often sold in OEM systems without public performance validation.

How It Compares

The AMD Radeon R5 M240 Rebrand has no listed nearest rivals in the FACT PACK. The `nearestRivals` array is empty, which precludes any direct percentage-based comparison. The data shows that this GPU occupies the 50th percentile among all GPUs, but without rival entries, there is no way to contextualize this ranking against specific products. The absence of benchmark scores further complicates any comparative analysis. What can be stated is that the GPU's specifications — 384 shaders, 8 ROPs, 14.40 GB/s bandwidth — are indicative of an entry-level mobile part. In the absence of rival data, the comparison must be made against the broader market landscape: this GPU is positioned below any discrete gaming-oriented GPU of its generation, and it likely performs in the same ballpark as integrated graphics solutions from the same era. The 28 nm process and GCN 1.0 architecture place it in the same technological generation as AMD's R7 and R9 series, but with far fewer execution resources. The 50th percentile ranking, while numerically neutral, suggests that the database considers this GPU to be an average performer, but the zero average score means no empirical validation exists. Without nearest rivals, any claim of superiority or inferiority to a specific competitor would be unsupported by the FACT PACK data.
