AMD Instinct MI350X vs AMD Radeon RX 7600 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Instinct MI350X and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 occupy entirely different segments of the GPU market, and the recorded data makes that separation explicit. The MI350X is a compute accelerator with no display outputs, a 1000 W TDP, and an OAM module form factor, while the RX 7600 is a dual-slot consumer graphics card with a 165 W TDP and full display connectivity. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, meaning no direct comparative test scores exist in the database for these two products. This absence of shared benchmarks is itself informative: the two parts are not designed to compete in the same workloads, and no common test suite has been applied to both.

The RX 7600 has a complete set of recorded benchmark scores across ten tests. Its average benchmark score is 15171, placing it in the 57th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The highest individual score comes from Geekbench OpenCL at 88051, followed by Geekbench Vulkan at 34401. In DirectX-focused tests, the RX 7600 scores 2310 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 172 in PassMark DirectX 11, 84 in PassMark DirectX 10, 58 in PassMark DirectX 12, and 226 in PassMark DirectX 9. The PassMark G3D score is 16634, the PassMark G2D score is 984, and the PassMark GPU Compute score is 8790.

The MI350X has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is 0, and its percentile versus all GPUs is 50, which is a neutral placeholder rather than a measured performance rank. The nearest rivals data is empty for the MI350X, confirming that no comparable products have been benchmarked against it in this database. For the RX 7600, the nearest rivals show a tightly clustered set of scores: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM averages 15199 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Radeon 680M averages 15270 with a delta of -0.7%, the AMD Radeon Pro 560X averages 15082 with a delta of +0.6%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti averages 15063 with a delta of +0.7%. These deltas are all within 0.7 percentage points, indicating that the RX 7600 sits in a competitive band where small score differences separate the products.

A: The MI350X has 288 GB of HBM3e memory on a 8192-bit bus with 8.19 TB/s bandwidth. The RX 7600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two AMD products is fundamental. The MI350X is built on the CDNA 4.0 architecture, which is designed for compute acceleration rather than graphics rendering. It uses the MI350 256CU chip and a 3 nm process node from TSMC. The RX 7600 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, which is a graphics-oriented design, and it is built on a 6 nm process node, also from TSMC. The transistor counts reflect the scale difference: the MI350X packs 185,000 million transistors on a 2380 mm² die, while the RX 7600 has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. The resulting transistor density is 77.7M per mm² for the MI350X and 65.2M per mm² for the RX 7600.

The compute resources are drastically different. The MI350X has 16384 shading units and 1024 texture mapping units, with a texture rate of 2,252.8 GTexel/s and an FP32 throughput of 72.09 TFLOPS. It has 0 ROPs and a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s, which is consistent with a part that has no display outputs. The RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. Its texture rate is 339.8 GTexel/s, its pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s, and its FP32 throughput is 21.75 TFLOPS. The RX 7600 also delivers 21.75 TFLOPS of FP16, matching its FP32 figure at a 1:1 ratio. The MI350X matches this pattern with 72.09 TFLOPS of FP16, also at a 1:1 ratio.

Memory architecture separates the two further. The MI350X uses HBM3e with 288 GB capacity, an 8192-bit bus, and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The RX 7600 uses GDDR6 with 8 GB capacity, a 128-bit bus, and 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Clock speeds also differ: the MI350X has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 2200 MHz, while the RX 7600 has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a game clock of 2250 MHz, and a boost clock of 2655 MHz. The MI350X memory clock is 2000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective, while the RX 7600 memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two GPUs are not competitors in any meaningful sense. The MI350X is a compute accelerator with no graphics output, no API support, and a 1000 W TDP. The RX 7600 is a consumer graphics card with full display outputs, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and a 165 W TDP. The MI350X has no benchmark scores, while the RX 7600 has ten scores with an average of 15171 and a 57th percentile ranking. The RX 7600's nearest rivals cluster within 0.7 percentage points of its average score, showing that it competes with mid-range graphics cards. The MI350X has no nearest rivals listed, which means the database contains no comparable accelerators to place it against.

For compute workloads, the MI350X offers 72.09 TFLOPS of FP32, 288 GB of HBM3e memory, and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. These figures are orders of magnitude above the RX 7600's 21.75 TFLOPS, 8 GB, and 288.0 GB/s. The MI350X also uses a 3 nm process, which is smaller than the RX 7600's 6 nm, and it has 16384 shading units versus 2048. For graphics workloads, the RX 7600 is the only one of the two with the required ROPs, pixel rate, ray tracing cores, and display outputs. The MI350X has 0 ROPs, 0 MPixel/s pixel rate, and no display outputs, so it cannot render to a screen at all.

Where Each One Wins

The MI350X wins in every compute-oriented specification. It has higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, more shading units, more TMUs, higher texture rate, more memory, wider memory bus, higher memory bandwidth, and a larger die with more transistors. Its 3 nm process node gives it a transistor density of 77.7M per mm², which is higher than the RX 7600's 65.2M per mm². The MI350X also supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the RX 7600 uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The MI350X has no display outputs and no API support, which means it is exclusively a compute device.

The RX 7600 wins in every graphics-oriented specification. It has 64 ROPs, a pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s, 32 ray tracing cores, and full display outputs including 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Its boost clock of 2655 MHz is higher than the MI350X's 2200 MHz, and its game clock of 2250 MHz exceeds the MI350X's base clock of 1000 MHz. The RX 7600 has a lower TDP of 165 W versus 1000 W, and it uses a standard 1x 8-pin power connector, while the MI350X requires a 1400 W suggested PSU and has no power connectors listed because it is an OAM module.

The RX 7600 is the only part with recorded benchmark performance. Its PassMark G3D score of 16634 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 88051 demonstrate measurable graphics and compute capability. The MI350X has no such data. The RX 7600's nearest rivals show that it sits within 0.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, the AMD Radeon 680M, the AMD Radeon Pro 560X, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti in average score. The MI350X has no rivals listed, so no comparative performance statement can be made from the database. The pick between these two comes down to the workload: the MI350X for massive compute and memory throughput, the RX 7600 for any task that requires a display, graphics APIs, or standard consumer power delivery.
