NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU vs AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU (mobile) is a modern Ada Lovelace variant of the RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU. However it offers greatly reduced cores (only 1,792) and a small 64 Bit memory bus for 4 GB GDDR6. At the time of release in mid 2024, the GPU was only intended for the Indian market.

The performance should be only similar to the old 4GB RTX 3050 Laptop GPU based on Ampere, due to the lower core count and small memory bus.

The AD106 / AD107 chip is manufactured on the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N) and therefore the GPU should offer a better power consumption than the old RTX 3050 variants (based on the Samsung 8N process). The power consumption is rated between 35 and 50 Watt for the 3050 A and therefore suited for thin multimedia laptops.

AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

► remove from comparison

The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT is a mobile mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 23 chip (RDNA 2 architecture) manufactured in 7nm. It features 2,048 cores (32 CUs - compute units) and 8 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 32 MB Infinity Cache. The clock speed of the cores will depend on the laptop according to AMD. The specified game clock speed is 2162 MHz (most likely at 120 W TGP).

AMD compares the performance to the RTX 3060 for laptops and similar to the RX 6600M. When Raytracing effects are activated, it falls behind the GeForce GPUs. Compared to the normal RX 6650M, the XT variant offers more shader, but at a slower clock speed.

The Navi 21 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the modern 7nm process.
