Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 vs Nvidia GeForce MX250: What is the difference?

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

75W

10W

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

number of transistors

3300 million

1800 million

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

semiconductor size

14nm

14nm

Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.

PCI Express (PCIe) version

3

3

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
