About the AMD Radeon 840M GPU

The Radeon 840M is a graphics card by AMD. It is built on the RDNA 3+ GPU microarchitecture and is manufactured on a 4 nm process.

Memory

GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 840M includes 256 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. Additionally, the GPU features 4 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Benchmark Performance

The 840M has the 219th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 6.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA107S) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX A500 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 96 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX A500 Mobile includes 2,048 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 832 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,537 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 64 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 16 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 30 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX A500 Mobile has the 192nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
