AMD Radeon R7 M445

The Radeon R7 M445 is an entry-level graphics card for laptops. It is based on the same chip as the old Radeon R7 M340 (and therefore renamed M440) but features faster GDDR5 graphics memory. Although the core speed is slightly reduced, compared to the M440, the general performance is clearly better. On average the gaming performance should be similar to a Nvidia GeForce 940M (or 940MX with DDR3).

The Radeon R7 M445 is produced in 28 nm and still based on an old GCN chip (no new Polaris architecture).
