About the AMD Radeon RX 5600M GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 5600M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2020. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 10) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 5600M has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 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 RX 5600M includes 2,304 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,035 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,265 MHz. It usually operates at 1,190 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 150 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 5600M has the 97th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 23.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2021. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA106) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 3060 Mobile has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 336 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 3060 Mobile includes 3,840 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,425 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 120 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 3060 Mobile has the 87th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 26.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
