About the AMD Radeon 860M GPU

The AMD Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2025. It is built on the RDNA 3.5 GPU microarchitecture (codename Krackan Point) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 860M includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 3,000 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 8 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The 860M has the 185th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the AMD FirePro M6100 GPU

The AMD FirePro M6100 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2013. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Saturn) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M6100 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,375 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 88 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 FirePro M6100 includes 768 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M6100 has the 262nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
