About the AMD Radeon RX 6500M GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6500M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 24) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6500M has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 144 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 6500M includes 1,024 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,400 MHz. It usually operates at 2,191 MHz during typical gaming workloads. 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 16 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 6500M has the 125th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 17.10% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro M620 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro M620 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The M620 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80.19 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 M620 includes 512 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 756 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,018 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

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 M620 has the 276th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
