    About the measurement and source
    A · NVIDIA GeForce 930M

    45.5 samples/min · community measurement, sample 2 · November 14, 2026

    Blender Open Data (Blender Foundation)

    Median of 2 submissions (0 outliers excluded), interquartile range 45.36–45.73; submissions 2025-10-18 to 2025-10-18; OPTIX backend. Snapshot 2026-11-14.

    B · NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB Laptop GPU

    583.7 samples/min · community measurement, sample 3 · November 14, 2026

    Blender Open Data (Blender Foundation)

    Median of 3 submissions (0 outliers excluded), interquartile range 551.67–640.99; submissions 2025-10-21 to 2026-02-01; OPTIX backend. Snapshot 2026-11-14.

    difference = |A − B| ÷ the smaller value × 100%. The 5% noticeable threshold is a UX heuristic, not statistical significance.

    Cycles render in Blender Benchmark. Median of the sum of samples per minute over three scenes after removing outliers.

    Bno data

    no data for B

    Excludes cache (Infinity Cache / L2), which affects effective bandwidth differently.

Power and dimensions

  • Board power

    A29 W (TDP)

    Bno data

    no data for B

    TGP (NVIDIA) and TBP (AMD/Intel) are calculated differently; higher is not better. For laptops, the chip maker sets the range and the laptop maker picks the value, so the same chip behaves differently in different laptops.

  • Interface

    APCIe 3.0 x16

    Bno data

    no data for B

“More” does not always mean “better”: higher power draw or size is a system requirement, not an advantage (such bars are dimmed).
