NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q vs AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q (for laptops, GN20-E3, Max-Q) is the former name for a RTX 3060 Laptop GPU with Max-Q technologies. In previous generations, the Max-Q name was used for low power versions. With the RTX 3000 series, every TGP-version can now use Max-Q technologies and all GPUs are called RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (60 - 115W).

AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

► remove from comparison AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

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.
