AMD Instinct MI350P vs AMD Radeon 860M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Instinct MI350P versus the AMD Radeon 860M. The MI350P has no recorded scores in any benchmark test, while the Radeon 860M has two recorded scores. This absence of overlapping data means a direct comparison of measured performance is not possible. Instead, the available data allows for an analysis of the Radeon 860M's positioning relative to other GPUs, and a specification-level comparison of the two AMD parts.

The Radeon 860M achieves an average benchmark score of 26,401 across its recorded tests. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, it scores 22,759, and in the Geekbench Vulkan test, it scores 30,043. The Vulkan score is approximately 32% higher than the OpenCL score, indicating that the graphics API used has a measurable impact on the recorded performance of this integrated part. The average score places the Radeon 860M in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database. This is a high percentile for an integrated processor, reflecting the strength of its recorded compute performance relative to the broader field.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon 860M provide context for its average score. The NVIDIA GeForce MX550 is essentially tied with it, recording an average score of 26,421, which is 0.1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 scores 26,331, which is 0.3% lower than the Radeon 860M. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26,553, which is 0.6% higher. The NVIDIA RTX A4000 scores 26,683, which is 1.1% higher. These deltas are all within a narrow band of roughly one percent, indicating that the Radeon 860M's average score sits in a tightly clustered group of discrete and professional GPUs. The Radeon 860M slightly outperforms the GeForce MX550 and the GeForce RTX 5060 in average score, while slightly trailing the RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary and the RTX A4000.

The MI350P has no benchmark records, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed. Its percentile ranking of 50 is a neutral placeholder in the database, not a reflection of measured performance. The data indicates that the MI350P is a compute accelerator with no recorded graphics or compute benchmark results.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures from AMD. The MI350P uses the CDNA 4.0 architecture, which is a compute-focused design. The Radeon 860M uses the RDNA 3.5 architecture, which is a graphics-focused design for integrated processors. This architectural divergence explains most of the other differences in the specifications.

The manufacturing process differs between the two parts. The MI350P is fabricated on a 3 nm process at TSMC, while the Radeon 860M uses a 4 nm process at TSMC. The smaller process node for the MI350P allows for a much larger transistor count. The MI350P contains 73,000 million transistors on a 1190 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 61.3M per mm². The Radeon 860M's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct comparison of these figures is possible.

The chip designs are entirely different in scale. The MI350P uses a chip labeled "MI350 128CU" while the Radeon 860M uses a chip labeled "Krackan Point." The MI350P belongs to the Instinct (MIx) generation, while the Radeon 860M belongs to the Navi III IGP (Strix Point Mobile) generation. The MI350P's predecessor is the Radeon Instinct, while the Radeon 860M's predecessor is the Navi II IGP.

Compute resources diverge sharply. The MI350P has 8,192 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 0 raster output units. The Radeon 860M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output units. The MI350P has no listed ray tracing cores, while the Radeon 860M has 8. Neither part lists tensor cores in the database. The MI350P's texture rate is 1,126.4 GTexel/s, while the Radeon 860M's is 96.00 GTexel/s. The pixel rate for the MI350P is 0 MPixel/s, reflecting its lack of raster output units, while the Radeon 860M has a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s.

Floating point performance follows the same pattern. The MI350P delivers 36.04 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, with a 1:1 ratio. The Radeon 860M delivers 3.072 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, also at a 1:1 ratio. The MI350P's FP32 throughput is roughly 11.7 times higher than the Radeon 860M's, though this figure is derived from the specification data rather than head-to-head benchmarks.

The Radeon 860M is a graphics-capable part with full API support. It lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support. The MI350P lists N/A for all three APIs, reinforcing its role as a compute accelerator without graphics output. The MI350P has no display outputs, while the Radeon 860M's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds differ significantly between the two parts. The MI350P has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 2200 MHz. The Radeon 860M has a base clock of 600 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The Radeon 860M's boost clock is 800 MHz higher, but the MI350P's base clock is 400 MHz higher.

Memory configurations are entirely different. The MI350P has 144 GB of HBM3e memory with an 8192-bit bus width and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 860M uses system shared memory, with the type, bus width, and size all listed as system shared. Its bandwidth is listed as system dependent. The MI350P's memory clock is 2000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective speed, while the Radeon 860M's memory clock is listed as system shared.

Power consumption is a major point of divergence. The MI350P has a TDP of 600 W, a dual-slot form factor, a single 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 1000 W. The Radeon 860M has a TDP of 15 W, is an integrated GPU (IGP) with no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU listed. The MI350P uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, while the Radeon 860M uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Physical dimensions are only listed for the MI350P. It measures 267 mm in length (10.5 inches), 111 mm in height (4.4 inches), and 40 mm in width (1.6 inches). The Radeon 860M has no dimensions listed, consistent with its integrated nature.

The release dates differ. The Radeon 860M was released on February 28, 2025, and is listed as active in production. The MI350P has a release date of May 6, 2026, and its production status is not listed. Neither part has a successor listed in the database, and neither has a launch MSRP.

The Radeon 860M has an average benchmark score of 26,401 and a percentile ranking of 72 among all GPUs. The MI350P has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50, which reflects the absence of recorded measurements rather than expected performance.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports two clear but distinct use cases. The AMD Radeon 860M is a measured, working graphics solution for integrated systems. Its average benchmark score of 26,401 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with performance essentially matching or slightly exceeding several discrete options. It sits within 1.1% of the NVIDIA RTX A4000, 0.6% of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, and 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 in average score. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, draws only 15 W, and requires no power connectors. This is a functional integrated GPU with recorded performance data.

The AMD Instinct MI350P has no benchmark records in the database. It cannot be compared to the Radeon 860M on the basis of measured performance. Its specifications describe a large compute accelerator: 8192 shading units, 144 GB of HBM3e memory with 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth, 36.04 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, and a 600 W TDP. It has no display outputs and no graphics API support. The data positions it as a server-class compute part, not a graphics product.

The choice between the two depends on the workload context. For systems requiring a low-power integrated GPU with verified compute and graphics benchmark results, the Radeon 860M is the only one of the two with any recorded scores. For large-scale compute workloads requiring substantial memory bandwidth and FP32 throughput, the MI350P's specifications indicate a far more capable accelerator, but the database contains no measurements to confirm its real-world performance. The data does not support a direct performance ranking between the two parts.
