AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU vs AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT

AMD Radeon RX 7700S

The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 33 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 6nm. 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 2200 MHz (most likely at 100 W TGP). The 7700S is the power efficient version of the RX 7600M XT with slightly reduced clock speeds (-100 MHz) and TDP (-20W max).

AMD compares the performance to the old Radeon RX 6700S, that is easily beaten by the 7700S. As the theoretical performance is only slightly below the 7600M XT (at 100W TGP), the 7700S should also beat the RTX 3060 desktop GPU. Although the Raytracing performance did increase for RDNA 3, the GeForce GPUs are still faster in this regard.

The Navi 33 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 6nm process (versus 4nm of Nvidia RTX 4000 series). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 75 to 100 Watt.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 33 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 6nm. 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 2300 MHz (most likely at 120 W TGP). 

AMD compares the performance to the RTX 3060 desktop GPU and claims significantly faster frame rates in a couple of games (without Raytracing). Although the Raytracing performance did increase for RDNA 3, the GeForce GPUs are still faster in this regard.

The Navi 33 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 6nm process (versus 4nm of Nvidia RTX 4000 series). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 75 to 120 Watt.
