GPU Frequencies
In desktop/notebook GPUs, the graphics cards are tuned according to their manufacturers/Board partners, depending on which frequencies they want in their notebook/desktop GPUs.
If they want power efficiency, they want to tune the frequencies lower than normal, resulting in less power consumption and loss of performance.
If they want performance, they will either let the frequencies default or tune the frequencies a little higher for more performance. Hence, the GPU will consume more power.
The Higher the clock speed, the better the performance of the GPU.

Synthetic Benchmark Performance
These benchmarks are measured by GPU benchmarking software like 3DMark Time Spy graphics score, 3DMark Fire strike graphics, Passmark Performance Testsuite, and Geekbench 6.2.
What is the Passmark Performance Test suite?
The Passmark performance test suite is a 3D benchmark designed for video cards by using the DirectX feature.
It puts a load on the GPU for various DirectX versions like DX9, DX10, DX11, and DX12 provides separate benchmark results, and gives you the average G3D mark score.
What is the 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark?
It calculates both the CPU and GPU performance and gives you the system’s overall score. It also ranks your overall score on the internet and ranks your system accordingly.
