AMD Radeon RX 6300M vs NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU vs AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT

AMD Radeon RX 6300M

The AMD Radeon RX 6300M is a mobile entry-level graphics card based on the Navi 24 chip (RDNA 2 architecture) manufactured in the modern 6nm process. It features 768 cores (12 CUs - compute units) and 2 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 8 MB Infinity Cache. The game clock speed is specified at 1512 MHz. The 6300M supports Smart Access Memory and SmartShift Technology.

The performance should be similar to a mobile GTX 1650 (according to AMD) and therefore best suited for 1080p gaming with medium settings.

The Navi 24 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the modern 6nm process and should offer a good energy efficiency.

NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU

► remove from comparison

The NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU or A500 Mobile is a professional graphics card for mobile workstations. It is based on the GA107 Ampere chip and offers a slower performance than the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU. It offers 2,048 CUDA, 16 Raytracing and 64 Tensor cores paired with a 64 Bit memory bus. It is available in different variants from 20 - 60 Watt (TGP) with different clock speeds (and performance). The GPU supports eDP 1.4b to connect the internal monitor and DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 for external connections.

There is no more Max-Q variant (formerly used for the low power variants) but every OEM can choose to implement Max-Q technologies (Dynamic Boost, WhisperMode).

The raw performance should be slower than the GeForce RTX 3050 for laptops at the same TGP level. Both GPUs depend heavily on good cooling and a high TGP for good performance. At a similar power consumption level the RTX A500 should be clearly faster than the old T500 and T550.

The GA107 chip offers 2.560 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. 1,280 INT32 ALUs). With Ampere all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. The A500 can only use 2048 CUDA cores. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formats now including AV1).

The GA107 chip is manufactured by Samsung in 8nm (8N), which is not quite able to keep up with the 7nm node at TSMC (e.g. used by AMD and also for the professional GA100 Ampere chip).

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.
