You can't compare these two devices in this way. Generally, the HP Prime is faster (considering the hardware), but the manufacturer doesn't provide the ability to create native applications (this is what Insoft meant by showing the rendering program). The Casio FX-GC50 has this capability, allowing it to run programs written in C/C++, which can operate tens or even hundreds of times faster than programs written in interpreted languages available on the HP Prime. The Casio FX-CG50 also has its interpreted languages, which run very slowly (slower than in the HP Prime), but if we use native add-ins written in C/C++, we can achieve much more than is possible on the HP Prime (assuming we are talking about additional applications, not factory-installed ones).

Here are examples of games written in C/C++ for the FX-CG50:

Currently, achieving something like this on the HP Prime is impossible. In this mode (native application), rendering such an image directly from a CAD file on the FX-CG50 at tremendous speed is not a problem. In earlier models of HP calculators (HP48G, HP49G, HP50G, and others), there was the possibility of creating native applications. However, in the HP Prime, the manufacturer opted for a much faster processor (multiple times faster than its predecessors), but at the same time, they blocked the possibility of creating native applications, which I consider a significant mistake, as it could have been partially restricted (e.g., unavailable in Exam mode only) instead of completely blocked.
Perhaps now, in Moravia's hands, someone will reconsider this and make some changes...
