AMD Radeon RX 7900M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU
AMD Radeon RX 7900M ► remove from comparison
The AMD Radeon RX 7900M is a mobile upper high-end graphics card based on the Navi 31 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 5nm. It features 4,608 cores (72 CUs - compute units) and 16 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 256 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 64 MB Infinity Cache. The clock speed of the cores will depend on the laptop according to AMD. The specified game clock speed is 1825 MHz (most likely at 180 W TGP).
AMD compares the performance to the mobile RTX 4080 and shows a number of games where the 7900M is on average 7% faster. Raytracing is supported in hardware, but usually slower than the Nvidia counterpart. Nvidia also has the advantage of DLSS support in selected games.
The Navi 31 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 5nm process. The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 160 to 180 Watt (200 Watt including SmartShift from the CPU).
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU ► remove from comparison
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU (mobile, GN20-P0-R, 2023 Refresh) is the refresh of the RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU (slowest RTX 3000 mobile card) and also based on the GA107 Ampere chip. The 6GB variant offers more CUDA cores (2,560, +25%) but a cut down memory bus to 96 Bit. The clock speed depends on the TGP variant and can range from 713 - 1530 (base) and 1058 - 1740 (boost) for the TGP variants of 35 to 80 Watt (see table below).
The performance is between the old 4GB RTX 3050 and the RTX 3050 Ti and therefore best suited for full HD gaming (1920 x 1080) in medium to high graphic settings. The performance is not sufficient to enable Raytracing in most games, but the Tensor cores can be used for DLSS in some games (and get performance boost with slight quality reduction). Beware, that the low TGP variants will offer a significantly lower performance.
The GA107 chip offers 3,072 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. 1,536 INT32 ALUs). The RTX 3050 however maybe won't use all ALUs on the chip. With Turing all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formats now including AV1).
The GA107 chip is manufactured by Samsung in 8nm (8N), which is not quite able to keep up with the 7nm node at TSMC (e.g. used by AMD and also for the professional GA100 Ampere chip).
