AMD Radeon 760M vs AMD Radeon R7 M365X Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only two benchmark tests shared by both GPUs in the database are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan. The AMD Radeon 760M wins both, and the margins are substantial. In Geekbench OpenCL, the 760M scores 20,255 against the R7 M365X’s 5,939, a 241.1% advantage. That is more than a threefold increase in raw compute throughput, indicating the 760M handles general-purpose GPU workloads with far more headroom.

The Vulkan gap is even more pronounced. The 760M records 30,336 in Geekbench Vulkan, while the R7 M365X manages only 4,893. That delta works out to 520%, meaning the newer part delivers roughly six times the graphics API performance. For any modern game or application built on Vulkan, the 760M is in a different league entirely. The R7 M365X’s score is closer to what integrated graphics from the same era would produce, which aligns with its 2015 release date and GCN 1.0 architecture.

Looking at the average benchmark scores across all recorded tests, the 760M sits at 6,019, while the R7 M365X averages 5,416. That is a modest 11.1% overall advantage for the 760M when averaging across every test in the database, but the head-to-head results show the real story: in the tests both share, the 760M is overwhelmingly faster. The discrepancy between the average scores and the head-to-head deltas suggests the R7 M365X’s average is buoyed by tests where it performs relatively better, while the 760M’s average is pulled down by its weaker DirectX results.

The 760M’s PassMark scores reveal a mixed profile. It scores 5,310 in PassMark G3D, which places it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its PassMark GPU Compute score is 2,840, and its DirectX results are modest: 65 in DirectX 9, 52 in DirectX 11, 25 in DirectX 12, and 19 in DirectX 10. The 2D score is 890. These numbers suggest the 760M is a capable general-purpose GPU that excels in compute and modern API workloads but does not dominate legacy DirectX tests. The R7 M365X has only the two Geekbench scores recorded, so no DirectX comparisons are possible from the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M wins every shared benchmark, so the use-case split comes down to the nature of those wins. In Geekbench OpenCL, the 760M’s 241.1% lead makes it the clear choice for compute-heavy tasks like video encoding, machine learning inference, or any workload that offloads parallel math to the GPU. Its 512 shading units and 5.323 TFLOPS of FP32 performance dwarf the R7 M365X’s 384 shading units and 633.6 GFLOPS. That is an 8.4x raw throughput advantage, which explains the OpenCL result.

For gaming, the Vulkan score is the more relevant metric. The 760M’s 520% lead in Vulkan means it can handle modern titles that rely on Vulkan or DirectX 12 Ultimate, which it supports with a 12_2 feature level. The R7 M365X only supports DirectX 12 (11_1), so it lacks the feature set required for the latest rendering techniques like mesh shaders or variable rate shading. The 760M also has 8 ray tracing cores, which the R7 M365X lacks entirely. That makes the 760M the only one of the two capable of any hardware-accelerated ray tracing, even if its 15 W TDP limits sustained performance.

The R7 M365X’s only advantage is indirect. Its 1024 MB of dedicated GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit bus and 64.00 GB/s bandwidth means it does not share system memory. The 760M uses system shared memory, so its bandwidth is system dependent. In a scenario where system memory is slow or limited, the R7 M365X’s dedicated VRAM could offer more consistent memory performance. However, the 760M’s raw compute and API support far outweigh this, and the R7 M365X’s 64.00 GB/s bandwidth is modest by modern standards. The 760M’s shared memory can exceed that if the system has fast DDR5 or LPDDR5 memory, and its PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides more bandwidth to the CPU than the R7 M365X’s PCIe 3.0 x8.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the AMD Radeon 760M is the superior GPU in every measurable shared benchmark. Anyone choosing between these two should pick the 760M unless they specifically need a discrete GPU with dedicated VRAM and are constrained by a legacy system that cannot support the 760M’s requirements. The 760M’s 35th percentile ranking versus the R7 M365X’s 32nd percentile is a small gap, but the head-to-head deltas tell the real story.

The 760M’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (average score 6,001, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (average 6,000, delta 0.3%), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (average 5,996, delta 0.4%). The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 is 0.5% ahead with 6,049. This places the 760M in the same performance class as those parts, which is remarkable for an integrated GPU with a 15 W TDP. The R7 M365X’s rivals are a step down: the AMD Radeon 610M is 0.5% ahead with 5,444, the Intel UHD Graphics P630 is 0.9% behind with 5,370, and the AMD Radeon R7 M445 is 1.1% behind with 5,358.

For a modern system, the 760M is the obvious choice. It is actively produced, built on a 4 nm process, and supports current APIs. The R7 M365X is end-of-life, built on 28 nm, and its GCN 1.0 architecture is two generations old. The 760M also has a successor in the pipeline, while the R7 M365X was replaced by Polaris Mobile. The data does not support any scenario where the R7 M365X is the better pick, except for the narrow case of needing dedicated GDDR5 memory in a legacy system.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from completely different architectural eras. The AMD Radeon 760M uses RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with the Phoenix chip. It packs 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 142.6 million per mm². The R7 M365X uses GCN 1.0 architecture on a 28 nm process, also at TSMC, with the Litho chip. It has 950 million transistors on a 77 mm² die, for a density of 12.3 million per mm². The density difference is enormous: the 760M packs over 11 times more transistors per square millimeter.

The 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output units. It also includes 8 ray tracing cores, which are absent from the R7 M365X. The R7 M365X has 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs. The 760M’s pixel rate is 41.58 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 83.17 GTexel/s. The R7 M365X manages 6.600 GPixel/s and 19.80 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 5.323 TFLOPS for the 760M and 633.6 GFLOPS for the R7 M365X, a 8.4x difference. The 760M also lists FP16 at 5.323 TFLOPS (1:1), while the R7 M365X has no recorded FP16 capability.

The 760M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The R7 M365X supports DirectX 12 (11_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The 760M’s Vulkan support is newer and its DirectX feature level is higher. The 760M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the R7 M365X uses PCIe 3.0 x8. Both are 8-lane connections, but the 760M’s newer PCIe standard doubles the per-lane bandwidth.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds differ significantly. The 760M has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. The R7 M365X has no base or boost clock recorded in the database; its memory clock is listed at 1000 MHz (4 Gbps effective). The 760M’s memory clock is listed as "System Shared," meaning it depends on the host system’s RAM.

Memory specifications are a key differentiator. The R7 M365X has 1024 MB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 64.00 GB/s bandwidth. The 760M has system shared memory with a system dependent bandwidth figure. The bus width is also system shared for the 760M, whereas the R7 M365X has a fixed 128-bit bus.

Power and physical specifications differ as well. The 760M has a TDP of 15 W, while the R7 M365X has no TDP recorded. The 760M is an IGP with a slot width of "IGP" and no power connectors. The R7 M365X has no slot width or power connector data. The 760M’s display outputs are motherboard dependent, while the R7 M365X has no display output data recorded. The 760M has a bus interface of PCIe 4.0 x8; the R7 M365X uses PCIe 3.0 x8.

Production status and release dates are also different. The 760M is active, released on 2024-01-30, and its predecessor is Navi II IGP. The R7 M365X is end-of-life, released on 2015-05-04, with a predecessor of Solar System and a successor of Polaris Mobile. Neither GPU has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.
