750m vs 840m

Solution
The GT 840M is much faster than the 740M and only very slightly slower than the 750M. It uses much less power because it has the newer Maxwell architecture. That should help battery life considerably.

Pretty useless, you can't really compare based on specs.

Besides, it says this about the 840M:
Its performance proves to be way better than its predecessors and to be on level with the DDR3 variant of the higher positioned GeForce GT 750M.
