AMD Radeon 610M vs AMD Radeon 780M

AMD Radeon 610M

The AMD Radeon 610M is a pretty basic integrated graphics adapter that's found on many laptop as well as desktop AMD SoCs. It sports 2 RDNA 2 architecture CUs (128 unified shaders) running at a clock speed of up to 2.2 GHz. It can HW-decode many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9, AV1.

Performance

Its performance is close to what the Vega 6 and the 32 EU Iris Xe deliver. While this isn't a gaming GPU by any stretch of imagination, it actually is fast enough to run some competitive titles such as Counter-Strike 2 (~50 fps at 1080p / Low) as well as older (pre-2019) titles.

Power consumption

Considering how small the number of unified shaders and other components is here, the Radeon is unlikely to ever consume more than 10 W.

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.
