AMD Radeon 7600S RDNA 3 GPU Is 5% Slower Than RTX 4060 For Laptops At The Same Power

The latest benchmarks of the AMD Radeon RX 7600S RDNA 3 laptop GPU show that it can come close to the RTX 4060 when using similar power.

In their latest review of the ASUS TUF Gaming A16 laptop, Computerbase has published the latest performance numbers of AMD's Radeon RX 7600S which is a cut-down Navi 33 GPU that is based on the same RDNA 3 architecture and houses 28 compute units with a total of 1792 cores. AMD's Radeon 7600S features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory that runs across a 128-bit wide bus interface and also packs 32 MB of Infinity Cache. The chip has a peak clock of 2200 MHz and can run up to 80W power.

In their benchmarks, Computerbase shows that the AMD Radeon RX 7600S performs on par with the last-gen Radeon RX 6800S which is based on the RDNA 2 architecture with more cores at the same power. In the same 1080p benchmarks, the 7600S is about 5% slower than the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU at the same power (80W). But Ada excels with more demanding effects such as Ray tracing which puts the RTX 4060 almost twice as fast as the RDNA 3 chip.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 also has the advantage of DLSS 3 in its hands which can provide even better performance when running games with ray tracing whereas AMD has yet to launch its FSR 3 technology. The performance drop with higher quality seems to be associated either with the PCIe lanes (x8) or the memory though it cannot be said which one is the main culprit for sure.

Previously, we have seen the AMD Radeon RX 7600S offer some great efficiency figures, putting up a great fight against the RTX 3060 with much higher efficiency though Ada is simply on a different level compared to Ampere.

The AMD Radeon 7600S is expected to ship with the Ryzen 7040 Phoenix laptops which will be available for consumers this month. We are likely going to get some decent prices on the RDNA 3 products as that can be a major advantage that AMD has while NVIDIA's RTX 4060 laptops start close to $1200 US.

At the same time, getting an existing Radeon RX 6800S laptop can also be a good decision as those are coming down in price and offer similar performance minus a few features such as AV1 support. Expect more information on the latest laptops in a few days.
