AMD Radeon 610M vs AMD Radeon 780M vs AMD Radeon Graphics (Ryzen 7000)

AMD Radeon 610M

The AMD Radeon 610M is an integrated GPU in the Ryzen and Athlon 7020 series for laptops (Mendocino, e.g. Ryzen 5 7520U). The GPU is based on the RDNA2 architecture and has only 2 CUs (= 128 shaders) clocked at up to 1,900 MHz (depending on the CPU model). The 610M supports 4 display outputs and AV1 video decoding in hardware.

Due to the low amount of shaders, the gaming performance is very low and only suited for low demanding 3D games.

Thanks to the modern 6nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD), so the graphics card can also be used for slim and light notebooks.

AMD Radeon 780M

The AMD Radeon 780M is an integrated GPU in the Ryzen 7040 series for laptops (Phoenix, e.g. Ryzen 9 7940HS). The iGPU is based on the new RDNA3 architecture and has 12 CUs (= 768 shaders) clocked at up to 3 GHz (depending on the CPU model). As the predecessor Radeon 680M, the 780M supports hardware raytracing, although the performance is too slow to use it in current games.

Thanks to the new architecture and higher clock speeds, the Radeon 780M should be clearly faster then the old Radeon 680M. This means most demanding games should be playable in minimum graphics settings (like Cyberpunk 2077) and less demanding games like Fifa 23 can be played in higher settings and resolutions (1080p). In early 2023, the Radeon 780M is the fastest iGPU on the market.

Thanks to the modern 4nm process and clever power-saving features, the power consumption is comparatively low (according to AMD). The whole chip of the first two models can be configured between 15 - 54 Watt TDP.

AMD Radeon Graphics (Ryzen 7000)

The AMD Radeon Graphics of the Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs is an integrated graphics card (iGPU) based on the RDNA 2 architecture. It offers only 2 CUs (128 shader) and is similar to the Radeon 610M. The clock speed in most CPUs ranges between 400 to 2200 MHz. Due to the low amount of shaders, the gaming performance is very low and only suited for low demanding games. The GPU also integrates an AMD Video Coding Engine (VCE) for H.264, H.265 10/8bpc encoding and AV1, VP9, H.265, and H.264 10/8bpc decoding.
